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.

i cannot remember school ever being closed, at st.johns can remember us being told "Keep yer coats on,the heatings not working" the kids today are being made into wimps by the health n safety geezers, whilst its a great act, like owt else gone to far. IMHO.
