Check to see if your child's school is open today as a result of strike action by teachers.

PARENTS across Suffolk are facing uncertainty and worry today as schools shut their doors as part of a national strike.

Across the county 54 schools will be closed completely and a further 63 are not open to certain year groups.

The National Union of Teachers is holing its first strike in 21 years to protest against the government's offer of 2.45per cent pay offer for teachers.

The NUT wants the deal increased to at least above inflation, officially measured at 2.5pc.

Strike action by teachers has affected the following schools:
