More strikes at Worthing High in protest at academy plans

Argus, Ben James, 17th October 2012


Teachers at a Worthing school which is preparing to become an academy are to walk out again.
Worthing High is set to convert to an academy in December, despite strong opposition.
Teachers at the school walked out over the plans in July and are now set to strike again on Tuesday and on November 13.
The acting headteacher has responded by saying she is organising an “alternative curriculum” in a bid to keep the school open.
Marianne Dark, from the National Union of Teachers (NUT), said: “This action is in response to the school’s continued plans to convert despite the concerns of our members.
