A spokesperson for Oxfordshire County Council said schools have contact arrangements for when they need to close the school at short notice.
Adding that they encourage schools to notify local radio stations.
They also said they rely on schools to tell them they are closed. If there are many schools closed due to bad weather, it may take longer for them to update the list.
