Schools and headteachers are putting plans in place ahead of possible strikes tomorrow, Wednesday 1 March 2023.

In January, National Education Union members voted in favour of taking strike action across seven dates in February and March.

The second of those dates is tomorrow, Wednesday 1 March.

200,000 teachers are set to walk out across the country in strike action agreed by the NEU at the start of the year.

NEU members are ready to walk out this week as they increase pressure on the government for a pay offer that will help them cope better with the rising cost of living.

Union members have also raised issues of understaffing and underfunding in their strike decision.

Many schools are expected to restrict access or close completely.

Parents have been directed to contact schools directly ahead of the action.
