More than 50 schools across Perth and Kinross are set to be affected during strike action.

Primary and secondary schools across the region will be affected when staff walk out on September 26, 27 and 28 amid an ongoing dispute over pay.

The action involves Unison members working for the council and Unite members of Tayside Contracts.

The strikes do not involve teachers.

Perth and Kinross Council said in a statement: “We will be able to open 28 of our primaries and five of our secondary schools but we have taken the difficult decision to close the remaining settings.

“Although schools will be closed to pupils, teaching staff will be able to attend and provide remote learning.”

All pupils who can attend school during the industrial action are encouraged to bring a packed lunch.

Where schools are open and pupils normally receive school transport, this will operate as normal.

The industrial action comes after 93.19% of polled Unison members voted to strike in Perth and Kinross, the highest turnout in Scotland.

Schools across Dundee, Fife and Angus are also likely to be affected with those councils yet to confirm which schools will shut.
