Pensions strike to hit hundreds of schools in Wales
Hundreds of schools across Wales will be affected on Thursday if planned strike action by teachers goes ahead.
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) have said they will take part in industrial action over pension changes.
Areas to be hit include Rhondda Cynon Taf, where 61 schools will close, with another 67 partial closures.
The Welsh Government said it aimed to "minimise the impact" on its services.
UK Education Secretary Michael Gove has said the strike would harm the teaching profession's reputation.
With thousands of teachers expected to join in the action on Thursday, parents across Wales are having to reconsider their childcare arrangements.
Some areas look likely to be worst hit than others.
They include Newport where 43 schools are set to close or partially close, whereas in Ceredigion the authority said it had received no confirmation of any school's intention to take strike action.
In Pembrokeshire two schools out of 71 will fully close and 41 will be open but closed for some classes, while in Conwy around 38 will be affected.
Other councils are expected to give details of anticipated disruption in their schools later.
A list of councils and how they expect to be affected is here.

The walk outs across Wales and England are the unions' response to changes to public sector pensions.
Ministers and union leaders are holding talks in the run up to a planned strike.
Thousands of other public sector workers, including court workers and police support staff, will take co-ordinated strike action on Thursday.
Members of the PCS union will join teaching unions in a walkout over pay and pensions.
Dr Philip Dixon, director of ATL Cymru, said he had never seen such spontaneous anger from teachers before.
"Teachers are not doing this lightly," said Mr Dixon. "ATL is renowned for its moderation. This is the first time in 127 years that we have gone on national strike.
