Because there is currently nothing to say. You sound desperate for it to close. Why?
One of my professors told me today that it's highly likely that our uni (UoManc) will close in the coming weeks. He said we'll probably get an early Easter holiday of a week.

Yes I have heard that schools and unis may have an early Easter break and even extra longer than usual.
all our teachers have been told that if our school is to shut all work is to be given on google classroom, and I've been invited to 3 different classes on it tonight so it seems my school is putting things into place

It's fairly likely, but they will try and wait til closer to the Easter break so that disruption is minimised (it's disruption to health care personnel needing to stay home from work to care for young children they are most worried about).
It's still possible that we will follow an epidemic growth trend closer to Japan's - much more shallow - rather than Italy. In which case it may not be necessary.

Ask your head teacher

Any closures are likely to be localised not nationwide
The government and lobbyists are just focus on the economic impact that it might have to the country, should they decide to lockdown. You really don't need to have a scientific background or modelling the probability of infections per day which is by far more damaging in all aspects. It is pretty obvious!
Nobody knows, stop asking stupid questions.
