Teachers' strike leads to school closures

Teachers are taking action over pay and conditions today - with a demonstration in Exeter and strikes at some schools.

There'll be a march from Northernhay Gardens to the Sidwell Street Methodist church, starting at 11.

Meanwhile the action by members of the NUT union has led to several schools being partially or fully closed today.

West Exe Community College, St James’ School, and Newtown Primary School in Exeter, along with the King’s School in Ottery St Mary will be partially shut .. while Withycombe Raleigh Church Of England Primary School in Exmouth and Heathcoat Primary in Tiverton will be completely closed for the day.

Here's a link to the county council's full list of closures:
