Another 27 schools are due to be ‘partially open’ with some classes disrupted.

Parents are advised to contact individual schools for further information.

The strike action has been called by the National Union of Teachers (NUT) in a row over changes to pensions.

Members of the NUT and the University and College Union (UCU) will march through central London from Malet Street at 11.45am through through Bloomsbury, down Shaftesbury Avenue, along Charing Cross Road, down Whitehall and across Parliament Square to the Department for Education (DfE) where there will be a rally at about 1pm.

NUT General Secretary, Christine Blower, said: "Teachers cannot be expected to do anything other than defend the right to a pension which they have paid into in good faith and which the Government has shown no evidence that they are either unsustainable or unaffordable.

"No teacher wants to be in this position. Pension increases are just an extra tax on teachers, when the top rate of tax is being cut.

"It is the Government’s intransigence and total disregard of the facts that has forced teachers to continue with this action."
