The Department of Education, Sport and Culture says schools are open as usual today.

They closed on Friday as heavy snow brought travel chaos to the Island.

This morning, the department says grittters have been out clearing roads near schools over the weekend.

All Island schools will be open as normal this morning.

Morning everyone, all IOM schools are open as normal today, Monday 11 Dec. Gritters are out and about to ensure school entrances are clear. Please take extra care on paths which may be slippy.
