Kingston Maurward will be closed tomorrow afternoon due to 'predicted bad weather'.

The college has announced it will close at 12.30pm on Thursday January 31, with all Kingston Maurward buses leaving the site at 1pm.

Luke Rake, principal and chief executive at Kingston Maurward, said the decision was made "for safety reasons".

"Due to the forecast heavy snow on Thursday evening, and the very long journeys many of our students take, we are closing the college tomorrow lunchtime.

"Morning buses and lessons will run as normal".

A decision on whether the college will be open on Friday is yet to be announced.
