The schools never closed due to snow when I was there either.
At QEGS the teachers lived as far away as the coast, but made it in.
At Moor End the majority of teachers lived outside of Hyndburn, and again made it in. As did the kids, who just got wrapped up, donned their Wellies, and trudged to school through the snow.
The heating once broke down at Moor End, but they didn't close.
They just packed the whole school into the hall, and we did country dancing to stay warm.
