Warwickshire County Council has said: “We can confirm that as of 3.40pm on January 31 we have had 15 notifications of full or partial closures from Warwickshire maintained schools and the details of these are on our website.

" We are expecting other schools to make decisions after completing risk assessments this week, so this number may change.

“Arrangements in response to strike action are the responsibility of each headteacher and will be dependent on individual school circumstances.

"Where schools notify us of either a full or partial closure, we will continue to publish this information on our website.”
