Storm Ciarán: Confirmed school closures in Devon and Cornwall as bad weather hits South West
More than 300 schools are closed across Devon and Cornwall today, Thursday 2 November, as Storm Ciarán hits the West Country.
A Cornish school, Pondhu Primary in St Austell, has been struck by "extensive flooding" after the heavy rain and will remain closed tomorrow.
In a Facebook post to parents, a school spokesperson said: "Unfortunately due to extensive flooding throughout school, Pondhu Primary School will remain closed tomorrow to allow us to dry and clean the building so the children can return safely."
During the storm, UK winds are expected to reach 85mph in exposed places, 70-80mph on the coast and 65-75mph inland.
As a result, the Met Office has issued two amber weather warnings for wind, meaning there is a danger to life. Several yellow weather warnings for rain are also in place.
