ALMOST half of schools in Bolton will be shut on Tuesday as teachers stage a walk out over pay and conditions.

A rally will be held in Victoria Square and picket lines will be held outside schools.

Members of the National Union of Teachers voted by more than 9-1 in favour of industrial action.

Schools have sent out letters to parents informing them of their plans during the day long strike.

The decision to close schools is taken on safety grounds and teachers who are not members of the union will be in school.

Here is a list of schools which have comfirmed they will be open, closed, partially open or not known.
