MORE than one in four of the county's state schools have been affected by the teachers' strike today.

In total 58 schools have been affected, according to Oxfordshire County Council, with 32 in total closed as about 600 members of the National Union of Teachers refused to turn up to take lessons.

Amongst those where there are no lessons are Cherwell School, Oxford Community School and Peers in the city.

Lecturers at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College were also mounting a strike with pickets at the Oxpens and Blackbird Leys campuses.
