A county council spokeswoman said whether to stay open or not was down to each individual school
She said: “The decision whether to close or to stay open is made by the headteacher in consultation with the chair of governors who have detailed knowledge about the local conditions.
“They will need to take into account a number of factors, including staffing levels for pupil safety.
She added: “Some might be able to open, while others nearby might be forced to close. Please check before setting out.”
