Teachers across the North East will be out on strike on Wednesday 26 March, forcing the closure of many schools.

The National Union of Teachers are boycotting classes as part of an ongoing dispute over pay, pension cuts and working conditions.

If your child goes to an academy school you should check the individual school website.
