New School Uniforms

Both schools had run out of oil to run the heating systems!
Pupils at two schools in Altea were obliged to wear their overcoats for classes last week to keep themselves warm in the chilly atmosphere of their central-heating-free classrooms.
Both schools had run out of oil to run the heating systems and so with temperatures at a bracing five degrees at 8 AM the students had to keep their thermals on.
The simpler solution of ordering a bit more oil was thwarted because one of the schools had no money in the kitty - the Education department was late sending the money through for the school's budget. Cold comfort for the pupils!
Where am I?
