Ulverston Victoria High School has shut in spite of staff there spending around four hours yesterday trying to ensure students could attend today.
Roger Cahalin, assistant headteacher of the school, said: "It's snowing heavily now and another three inches have fallen overnight, so despite clearing and gritting the site and making it safe it's completely covered over again now.
"It (the decision to close the school) is based on safety. We're such a large site here, it's almost half a mile from one end to the other, so we have to have clear paths to make it safe. "It took about four hours for us to do that and sadly it's now covered over again."
Tots and toddlers are also enjoying "snow days" with Lindal Playgroup and Toddlers, the Spring Mount Toddler Group in Walney and the Jack and Jill Playgroup in Dalton all being called off. Meanwhile Askam Library has closed for the day. Please keep checking www.nwemail.co.uk for weather updates and more news on school closures.
