October 17 strike - the facts are: OVERWHELMING SUPPORT

Undoubtedly, Michael Gove or one of his DfE spin-doctors will try and tell the media tomorrow that teachers aren't supporting the NUT / NASUWT strike action.

Well here are the facts from my borough, Lewisham - and I am sure that other boroughs will be able to tell a similar story:

SCHOOL OPEN 8%
PARTLY CLOSED (some classes out) 17%
SCHOOL MAINLY CLOSED (e.g just Year 6 or Year 11) 31%
SCHOOL CLOSED 44%



This is not a post intended to exaggerate support, but to present an objective picture - a picture which shows the overwhelming support for the strike across the borough. All but a handful of small schools are affected by the action, three-quarters are either totally or largely closed because of the solid support from NUT and NASUWT members. 

Below is the list from which the figures are compiled. While there might be a small margin of error, the results are taken from such a large sample of schools that the picture is crystal clear - overwhelming support for strike action!
