School strikes in Manchester: Which schools will be closed or partly closed as a result of the strike action?

Teachers across Manchester are on strike on Wednesday (1 February) as part of a national dispute over pay. The National Education Union (NEU), which says it has 14,720 members in 1,200 workplaces across Greater Manchester, balloted for strike action as it seeks a fully-funded pay rise which is above inflation and action to reverse what it says is years of lost pay and real-terms cuts.

Schools across the city have been making plans for the strike day, with many having to fully or partially close their doors depending on how many of their employees are in the NEU and intending to take part in the walkout.

Here is what some schools across Manchester have said they are doing on Wednesday:
