In addition, four classes at Billingshurst Primary School will close due to the strikes - Greece Class Year 2, Egypt Class Year 3, Chile Class Year 4 and Nepal Class Year 5.

These disruptions follow news that the Forest School and Kingslea Primary School, both in Horsham, will be affected by the strikes.

It means that hundreds of children in the Horsham district will not be able to attend school next Thursday.
