Worthing Herald, 3rd November 2012
A senior teachers’ union rep has requested a meeting with the chair of governors at Worthing High School to avoid another strike over its plans to convert to an academy.
Eric Skyte approached chair of governors Tony Cohen last week in a bid to stave off a third and final planned phase of industrial action planned for Tuesday, November 13.
The move followed a second strike last week in which a total of 16 members of staff, supported by parents, protested outside the school in South Farm Road. They remain concerned over the proposals, which they argue could impact on their terms and conditions and may also be affected by potential employment of unqualified teachers, which they believe would be damaging to childrens’ education. The school’s head teacher has responded it had formally confirmed to teachers that it does not intent to change teachers’ conditions.
However, the Herald contacted governor Tony Cohen for comment on its plans and the educational merits of becoming an academy, but he declined to do so.
