Individual schools in Birmingham will take the decision about whether to remain closed tomorrow, said the city council.
Yesterday the council announced that says all of its schools would be closed today because of the snow and freezing weather.
Image source, @varunanand9388Colin Diamond, Corporate Director for Children and Young People at Birmingham City Council, said:
"The key roads around the city are now cleared and the position on side roads is varying.
"Given some may be now much better thanks to the efforts of the city's excellent gritting teams, it was not considered appropriate to repeat yesterday's blanket closure, when conditions were much worse."
