One primary school has closed so far as a result of the cold weather and snow.
St Luke's Church of England Primary School, in Tiptree, closed early this afternoon and will remain shut on Tuesday.
Headteacher Martin Moriarty wrote on Facebook: "We run the school heating on two boilers, one of which is broken.
"With the cold weather we are now unable to heat the building to the minimum level.
"An engineer has been on site and will be revisiting tomorrow, but cannot guarantee parts.
"As the forecast is for no improvement in the temperature, we will be closed tomorrow, February 27, and will inform you when we are able to open again."
Emergency school closures are updated online by 6pm for the following day.
