MORE than 1,500 local school students will get a day off tomorrow – but it's not all down to industrial action.

Kingsmead Community School, Wiveliscombe has confirmed it will be closed - and has cancelled an induction day - as teachers across the country take action over changes to the pensions which they say will mean working longer, paying more and getting less when they retire.

And no classes will be held at Court Fields Community School Wellington, because the school is holding an inset day.

Hemyock School will be closed, and at Milverton Primary School lessons could be partially suspended.
