Greenwich Council has issued an update about potential school closures ahead of the teacher strikes taking place tomorrow (March 2).

Teachers across the country have voted to take strike action due to what the NEU has described as "long hours and poor pay". 

A spokesperson for Greenwich Council said that they will not have information about which schools are open or closed until the day of the strikes tomorrow.

Several demonstrations will be taking place across London.

90.44 per cent of teachers in England that are NEU members voted in favour to taking industrial action on a turnout of 53.27 per cent.

However, according to NEU, support staff didn’t meet the Government’s thresholds with a ballot result of 84 per cent of members voting in favour of the strike with a turnout of 46.46 per cent.

NEU teaching staff strikes have also been planned for Wednesday, March 15, and Thursday, March 16.
