A campaign against a school conversion to an academy could be grinding to a halt after union officials accused teachers of not supporting them.
There has been strong opposition to Worthing High School’s academy proposal since it was announced earlier this year.
The spring and summer saw a wave of protests including a mass teacher walkout in July which forced the school to close its doors for the day.
A second strike was planned for last Tuesday by two of the school’s three teachers’ unions. A limited number of teachers were involved in the action which meant the school remained open.
We wonder who, from within the school, would leak Eric Skyte's email to the press. Clearly an attempt to diminish the voice of striking teachers. More worryingly, is this evidence of divide and rule at play? And why bother when we are led to believe that conversion on 1st December is such a dead cert?
