Teachers are on strike today, and most schools in York and North Yorkshire are affected.
Tens of thousands of teacher members of the National Education Union (NEU) are estimated to walk out of schools and sixth form colleges across England today (Thursday).
The “majority of schools” are expected to either restrict access to pupils or fully close as a result of the strikes, the NEU has said.
Many secondary schools in England are expected to prioritise Year 11 and Year 13 students during the strikes as GCSE and A-level exams are weeks away.
The NEU has issued guidance which says it will support arrangements during the strikes that “provide the minimum level of teaching staff needed” so GCSE and A-level students can attend school for revision activities or exam practice.
City of York Council has issued this list of schools in the city and how they are affected, both for today and for the next scheduled strike on Tuesday, 2 May.
The council says: “If you have any questions about the impact of strikes then you should contact your school.”
The NEU is planning a total of five days of teacher walkouts during the summer term – with three of the dates yet to be announced – after members overwhelmingly voted to turn down the Government’s pay offer.
As far as we’re aware, there is no similar list of closures issued by the new North Yorkshire Council.
