Full list of school closures as Storm Ciaran hammers Britain with 98mph gales ... trends now

Schools across Britain will shut today as Storm Ciaran batters the country with 98mph gales and torrential downpours.

Thousands of of pupils in a number of regions including in Southampton, Devon and Cornwall, will work remotely as the Arctic freeze engulfs England.

The closures come as hundreds of schools started class later yesterday to ensure children and staff could travel in during daylight hours. 

Amber risk to life warnings have been put in place by the Met Office for parts of the country as gales of up to 100mph sweep across the country. 

Meanwhile commuters have been told to avoid travelling and work from home, as chaos is expected on a number of railways.
