Broke up today, got two weeks off then before work experience we have one week at school. In that week we have Thursday and Friday off due to a teachers strike.

Most probably every school in the country will. Its teachers strike all over?

''Around 200,000 teachers will stage a one-day strike over pay following the Government's refusal to improve a 2.45 per cent offer.''

Only for teachers in NUT some are not. Our school is closed because 30 teachers are striking. Also the other teachers have been told by their union not to cover classes for teachers not in. Therefore the head has decided to close the school.

All the students actually went on strike. XD

Ditto, however they want to try and keep the Sixth Form open.

My Sixth Form is taught by the teachers who teach the juniors and most are in the NUT. I'm not sure about whether we'll be closing because we have close to 120 teachers so... it depends on how many are in the NUT I guess.

Thinking about it - I think most of my teachers are in NASUWT not NUT.
