“We always give the school as much advance notice as we can and work closely with the headteacher to minimise the disruption to the school itself, and to parents and children.

“It is for the school to decide whether it needs to close or not on polling day.”

  • Henry Bradley Infants School at Princess Street, Brimington will be closed to all children
