Furious parents revealed today they still don't know if their children's schools will be shut tomorrow because of the teachers' strike - with some claiming they won't be told until the morning.

The UK faces the biggest day of industrial action in more than a decade as teachers join walkouts from university staff, train drivers, civil servants, bus drivers and security guards.

However, not every school in England and Wales will be closing completely as a result of the strikes and a number are yet to communicate with parents and guardians.

The confusion has left families frustrated - with many now unsure whether they need to change their own working or childcare arrangements.
