Thousands of Perth and Kinross pupils are facing disruption during strike action.

Trade union Unison called the strike after rejecting a pay deal for council staff from local authority body Cosla.

The action – which started on Monday October 21 and involves non-teaching members – is targeting the home constituency of First Minister John Swinney.

The strike has forced some schools to close but others are able to open.

Families entitled to free school meals will receive their payments as normal once the strikes end if their child has been unable to attend school.

We will update this list of schools that are open and closed daily throughout the strike action.
