Teachers at dozens of Croydon schools will go on strike tomorrow over pay, pensions and "intolerable" workloads.

The majority of the borough's schools have expect to be affected by the one-day the walkout called by the National Union for Teachers (NUT).

Some 17 schools have confirmed they will shut completely, with a further 46 partially closed.

The NUT called the strike in protest at the Government's planned implementation of performance-related pay, the increase in state pension age to 68 and long working hours.

General secretary Christine Blower said strike action was a last resort for teachers.

She said: "We deeply regret the fact that we have been put in this position. Teacher morale is at an all-time low.

"Teachers regularly work in excess of 60 hours a week which is unacceptably high and unsustainable. 

"The introduction of performance-related pay is a way of paying teachers less, not more."
