— Original on November 30 @ 6.30pm: Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School, Ermine Primary School, Yarborough School and Fortuna School will not be opening on December 1.
Three schools, Lincoln College and one University campus have been forced to close on Tuesday due to continued snowfall in the city.
The three schools are Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School (LCHS), St Peter & St Paul’s Catholic High School and St Faith & St Martin’s Church of England Junior School.
LCHS was closed at 1.30pm due to weather causing disruption to normal lessons, and will be closed all day December 1.
St Peter & St Paul’s Catholic High School was closed due to there being no electricity on the grounds since early Tuesday morning.
St Faith and St Martin’s Church of England Junior School closed at midday due to the severe weather conditions on Hampton Street.
Lincoln College announced at 1.28pm that it would be closing all its sites across the city for the rest of the day.
The University of Lincoln also had to bring learning to a standstill on Tuesday at its Riseholme campus, which is still open, but courses are not taking place.
All other University of Lincoln campuses are still open.
The snow started in Lincoln on November 26, and has since caused businesses and schools across the county to close, as well as traffic collisions.
It has been forecast that the snow will continue to fall on Lincoln until Thursday, December 2.

A Lincoln-based photographer has spoken of her love of capturing images of spectacular aircraft flying in the county’s skies.
Claire Hartley’s main photography interests are aviation and nature and several of her pictures have been published, including of the Red Arrows as the sun was low on a winter’s day which featured on the front page of The Times.
In an interview with BBC Look North, Claire said it’s “nice to know that people want to use” her photographs and she picked out to of her personal favourites from her collection.

A photo she took of a Lancaster flying back to Coningsby over Tattershall Castle will always be a favourite, with Claire saying: “That was one of those days where I just sat out in the rain and then just for a split second it came really good just as it passed over the top of the castle.”
She added that her second favourite “is probably one of the Red Arrows” flying in formation.

“It’s not a technically perfect shot, it’s not very good resolution, but it’s the first one for me that took off on social media and that’s kind of the one that made things work for me,” she said.
