Orelton CE Primary School
A statement on Herefordshire council's website says that the primary school will be closed tomorrow, due to localised flooding. The school have asked parents to check all normal methods of correspondence for further updates.
Westfield School, Leominster
Earlier, a closure was announced for Westfield School in Leominster, due to flooded roads which will affect both staff and pupils' travel to the school.
A statement on the council's website said: "Due to flooding on routes used by staff and pupils to travel between home and school safely, some from significant distances, we have taken the advance decision to close to pupils on Monday 25th November, since we cannot guarantee these routes will be clear or safe by tomorrow morning."
