I teach in a school in Birmingham and my 2 children are at 2 other schools in Birmingham. I've not heard anything.

Mine are definatly off, have had a letter confirming it today.

Not all schools are affected.

At the moment dd's school isn't - but the staff who are affected have until Monday to let the school know of their intention to strike, so we won't know until Monday afternoon.

I haven't heard anything - but then my 2 are old enough to look after themselves anyway. I will probably be the last person to know - I will find a crumpled note at the bottom of someone's bag in about 6 months' time.

I can't why my kids school can't just let them taked packed lunches.

The head though has said that she canot ensure a safe environment for pupils and so the school will close.

we had a letter saying school would be open and children were to take in a packed lunch.
