School staff walked out for the past two days, causing chaos for parents up and down the country.
They will be taking industrial action for a total of three days this week.
Today, union members in the south of England – including in London – and Wales will strike.
Here is the full list of schools that have been forced to shut their doors.

“Almost all schools will be closed or partially closed due to the industrial action on Thursday 2 March, 2023. We are advising all parents and carers to contact the school directly for information,” Merthyr Council said.
Torfaen
The council said it has had notice from 19 schools and expects to have daily updates until Wednesday afternoon. So far three schools have confirmed they will shut, 12 will be partially shut, and four have said they will be fully open. The situation for all other schools in the county aren’t known and the council did not name those that would be shut, partially shut, or open.
Conwy
The council warned the full impact won’t be known until strike day but as of last thing on Monday, February 27, it has been told 11 of its 63 schools will be shut, 16 partially shut, 16 open, and the impact on the rest was not known. The council said in a statement: “Decisions on whether to close schools during industrial action have been taken by the head teacher of a school following a risk assessment. Schools have contacted parents/carers direct with information specific to local circumstances.
“The education service is advising parents/carers to follow the information provided by their child’s school. We are awaiting information from 20 schools. The full extent of the industrial action will not be known until the day itself.”

Gwynedd
A Gwynedd Council spokesman said: “The National Education Union (NEU) has announced four dates of industrial action by their members, which means that some schools in Gwynedd may close partially or completely for learners on those days. As a local education authority we have met with the heads of the county’s primary, secondary, and special schools in order to prepare and discuss the main issues that may arise.
“The impact of the strike will vary from school to school. We sympathise with the concern this may cause for pupils and their families and we are working closely with our schools so that they can provide appropriate and consistent information to parents and pupils in advance.
“The full extent of the industrial action cannot be known until the day itself. As a council we are committed to working with the Welsh Government and the unions to resolve this dispute and to ensure that any action disrupts as little as possible on the provision of education in the county.”
Wrexham
Cllr Phil Wynn, lead member for education, said: “We understand parents’ concerns as there will inevitably be disruption on Thursday, March 2, and we are working with schools to manage this in the best way possible. The full extent of the industrial action, however, will not be known until the day itself. Head teachers are preparing risk assessments based on the information they have in order to assist them in making a decision on whether or not to close, partially close, or remain open. They will endeavour to give as much notice as possible to parents. Parents are advised to look out for communications from their child’s school and to take the necessary action.”
Anglesey
A council spokesman said: “We are liaising with head teachers to assess how the latest industrial action will affect our schools on March 2. Assessing the impact of the industrial action is, of course, hampered by the fact that teachers do not have to inform their head teacher that they are unavailable for work until the morning of March 2. However we will continue to work with schools to ensure that we have as clear a picture as possible. Schools will be informing parents directly with regards to their intention as soon as they are able to.”
Flintshire
A council spokesman said: “The full extent of the industrial action will not be known until the day itself. We advise parents to look out for communications from their child’s school directly and to take the necessary action.”
