Schools across Croydon will be closed on Thursday because of national strikes over pay.

Members of the National Union of Teachers will be protesting at the Government's decision to increase wages to below the rate of inflation.

The strikes are expected to hit 40 schools in Croydon after teachers have claimed that the poor rate of pay is affecting chances to recruit more staff and morale is at rock bottom.

A total of 36 primary schools and four secondary schools will be affected.

They are: Ashburton Infant School Ashburton Junior School Bensham Manor School Broadmead Nursery and Infant School Castle Hill Primary School Cypress Infant School Cypress Junior School David Livingstone Primary School Ecclesbourne Infant School Elmwood Infant School Elmwood Junior School Fairchildes Primary School Forestdale Primary School Gonville Primary School Heavers Farm Primary School Norbury Manor Primary School Oval Primary School Parish Church CofE Nursery and Infant School Priory School Rowdown Primary School Ryelands Primary School Selsdon Primary and Nursery School South Norwood Primary School St Chad's Catholic Primary School St Giles School St Joseph's RC Infant School St Mary's Catholic Infant School Waddon Infant School Whitehorse Manor Infant School Whitehorse Manor Junior School Winterbourne Nursery and Infant School Wolsey Infant School Wolsey Junior School Woodside Junior School
