HERE is a list of schools closed in Buckinghamshire today because of strike action.
Schools across Bucks are either fully or partially closed today because of industrial action, including schools in High Wycombe, Amersham, Aylesbury and Marlow. We will keep you updated as and when new schools are added to the list.
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) in England are striking - the fifth day of national strike action this year.
In both England and Northern Ireland, teachers do not have to say in advance if they are striking, and there are no rules about when parents must be told about closures.
Head teachers decide whether to shut schools. Some parents may only be told about a closure on the morning itself, once staff numbers are known.

A Department for Education spokesperson said: “For unions to coordinate strike action with the aim of causing maximum disruption to schools is unreasonable and disproportionate, especially given the impact the pandemic has already had on students’ learning.
"Children’s education has always been our absolute priority and they should be in classrooms where they belong.
“We have made a fair and reasonable teacher pay offer to the unions, which recognises teachers' hard work and commitment as well as delivering at additional £2 billion in funding for schools, which they asked for.”
