  1. Largest school closed until new year

    Trinity School in Carlisle will not reopen until the New Year because of flood damage. 

    Almost 1,600 pupils attend the school, but its buildings off Victoria Place are still empty because it's not yet safe to reconnect them to the mains electricity supply.

    You can read a letter from the co-head teachers here.
