Bromley Council has issued a statement on school closures ahead of tomorrow's planned teacher strikes in London and the south east of England.

On March 2, 2023, teachers in London and the south east of England will be going on strike over pay and working conditions.

Several demonstrations will be taking place across London.

90.44 per cent of teachers in England that are NEU members voted in favour to taking industrial action on a turnout of 53.27 per cent.

However, according to NEU, support staff didn’t meet the Government’s thresholds with a ballot result of 84 per cent of members voting in favour of the strike with a turnout of 46.46 per cent.

NEU teaching staff strikes have also been planned for Wednesday, March 15, and Thursday, March 16.

Most of Bromley Council's schools are academies and operate independently from the local authority.

As a result, Bromley Council told the News Shopper that it would not have any information on school closures unless the schools chose to inform the council.

A spokesperson for Bromley Council said: “Almost all of our schools are academies which operate independently from the local authority for most things.

“Hence we would not know what is happening in each individual school unless they choose to tell us”.
