Teacher strike 2023: Full list of every Leeds school shut today as teachers walk out of classrooms

The National Education Union (NEU) says 23,400 schools in England and Wales will be affected, with advice for parents issued by Department for Education as follows:

“Parents have a legal duty to ensure that their school-registered child of compulsory school age attends school regularly. Therefore, all school-registered children of compulsory school age in classes open on days when strike action is being taken are still required to attend school, regardless of parental choice or the closure of other classes in the school.”

Here is the list of schools closed in Leeds tomorrow.

Schools closed in Leeds

Please note that some schools are still overseen by Leeds City Council but many are now run by private academy trusts. It means there is no centralised list and each school is expected to notify parents if it plans to close due to the planned strikes. As of January 30, the following schools were among those to have confirmed their plans:

- Allerton Grange: Contingency plans announced in a letter to parents mean the school will be closed to most pupils but Year 11 pupils will still attend for exams and arrangements were being made to allow a Year 10 trip to York to go ahead as planned.
