Parents in Leeds are expressing their anger after hundreds of pupils have been told to stay home due to adverse weather.

A number of schools across Leeds have closed due to the severe weather conditions with parents complaining of having to find last-minute child care. Amber and yellow weather warnings are in place in Leeds and across Yorkshire, with significant disruption expected until Friday morning.

With the snow expected to get worse throughout the day, a number of schools and colleges closed early today, with some also announcing they would be closed on Friday. Leeds City Council published a list of all the known closures, and some schools were contacting parents via text directly.
