A total of 28 schools in Epsom, Ewell, Banstead, and Leatherhead are set to close, or partially close, on Wednesday as 2 million public sector workers walk out.

In Epsom and Ewell 15 schools will be affected with 11 schools closed and four partially closed.

In a letter to parents Susan Willman, head teacher at Therfield School in Leatherhead, said: “This is a difficult situation and I am sure we all sincerely hope that this very concerning and controversial issue of pension reform is satisfactorily resolved as soon as possible."

Over 2 million public sector workers are expected to walk out on Wednesday, November 30, to defend their pension funds with schools, council offices and hospitals across Surrey expected to be picketed.

The strike, co-ordinated by the TUC, will include the National Union for Teachers, NASWUT, Unison and the GMB, is expected to disrupt schools, courts, government offices, job centres, driving tests, council services and hospitals.

In June, seven schools were closed and nine partially closed following a nationwide strike by The National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) NUT and ATL.

Speaking last week, Marianne Dark, East Surrey NUT representative, said: "It seems that the vast majority of teachers and other workers in schools will be on strike next week.

"We had a very good response in June and there’s been no indication that the response is any weaker and if anything it’s stronger at this stage.

"It’s probably the biggest public sector walk out in a generation.”
