Dozens of schools have been forced to shut across the UK after a second night of snow hit large parts of the country.

A Met Office yellow ice warning covering southern England, the Midlands and eastern Wales remains in effect until 10am on Wednesday, with the forecaster advising vehicles could be stranded and power cuts widespread.

Some lying snow could reach up to 10cm or more over higher ground and ice is expected to form on untreated surfaces.

The wintry weather has led to more than 50 schools closing on Wednesday across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Here are the schools hit by closures:
