Teachers' strike: Herefordshire schools closing on Wednesday

Our live feed has now finished.

  • Schools across Herefordshire will shut or partially close on Wednesday as teachers walk out in a national row over pay.
  • Teachers don't have to say if they plan to strike, but some are. At one school in Herefordshire, half of the teaching staff are walking out.
  • The NEU said it has received 22,000 new sign-ups recently after announcing it will launch seven days of walkouts throughout February and March in England and Wales.
