Perth and Kinross Council has now published a list of schools which have reopened or partially-reopened. Eleven primary schools have reopened, with another 23 partially reopening this week. Thirty seven primary schools in the region remain closed.

Perth and Kinross Council has announced some schools will reopen tomorrow whilst strikes continue. Around 500 UNISON members took to picket lines across Perth and Kinross as schools and nurseries closed to pupils during industrial action.

The walkouts are set to begin immediately after the October holiday, meaning schools could be shut for a full month.

All primary schools and early learning and childcare (ELC) in Perth and Kinross will close on Monday as a two-week strike begins. The council said intensive support provision (ISP) and Fairview School in Perth would also close as a result of the action by non-teaching members of the Unison union.

All Perth and Kinross primary schools as well as early learning and childcare (ELC), Intensive Support Provision (ISP) and Perth’s Fairview School will be closed this Monday, October 21, due to UNISON strike action in a national pay dispute.

Schools in Swinney’s constituency to close due to strike - Trade union Unison rejected a previous pay offer, which has since been imposed on staff.

The area, which includes the first minister's constituency, is being targeted for two weeks of action in the national council pay dispute.
