About 30 schools across Brighton and Hove will be closed or partially closed by strike action on Thursday, according to the latest update from Brighton and Hove City Council.
The strike is over changes to teachers’ pensions which will mean they have to pay more in while getting less out, in part because they will have to retire later.
The list below is not exhaustive with schools such as Portslade Community College and Longhill also expected to be affected.
Not all schools have formally notified the council yet that they are to close or partially close. The council’s list includes the following
