Head teacher defends Worthing High School academy plans
The head teacher of Worthing High School has defended its plans to become an academy, amid the third in a series of strikes protesting at the plans.
Carolyn Dickinson explained the decision taken by the school’s governors this summer was based around ensuring its future financial stability for its students – which she believed would not be assured if it did not press ahead with the scheme as planned from next month.
For the third time this autumn, protesting teachers and staff were joined on Tuesday morning by parents and members of two unions, the NUT and NASUWT – though picket-lines appeared reduced from previous strikes.
