“The Staffordshire County Council webpage has gone down. I wonder if every headteacher in the County has tried to enter their 'day off' on the Emergency school Closure list and caused it to crash?”

“Long weekend off then, maybe next week off. The one thing you can always rely on the council for
or should i say two. BURIED IN SNOW AND BURIED IN DEBT.
They will sent all the staff home without pay to save money. Save yourself the Hassell, and throw a sickie.”
