STRIKE action forced the closure of schools across Farnham for the second time in six months on Wednesday.

All three of the town's state secondary schools - All Hallows, Heath End and Weydon - were affected after teachers walked out to protect their public sector pensions.

And a scattering of primary schools were also closed, partially or fully, including Hale, Pilgrims Way, William Cobbett, St Paul's and St Peter's.
