In a statement, Headlands School said: "Due to difficult driving conditions in the area and the weather forecast for more snow until this afternoon, the decision has been made to close the school today for all year groups (apart from students sitting official A-Level exams today).
"Where possible, live lessons will be taught. Where this is not possible, work will be uploaded onto Google Classrooms."
