Most schools are 'open or partially open' across Kingston this morning despite a strike by teachers.
Six schools will be closed by the National Union of Teachers strike - Knollmead Primary, Lovelace Primary, Malden Parochial, Robin Hood Primary, Bedelsford and St Phillip's.
Rob Meakin, headteacher of Lovelace Primary School in Chessington, wrote: "I know teachers, teaching assistants, office staff and support staff at Lovelace are reluctant to strike and regret any inconvenience to children and parents but feel they need to support their professional associations and show the strength of their feeling over the proposed reforms of their pay and working conditions."
