Teachers at the Littlehampton Academy will be on strike on
Weds 17th April.
The strike has been called by both the National
Union of Teachers (NUT) and the NASUWT, unions that together represent the
overwhelming majority of teachers.
In a ballot teachers in both unions voted by
a big majority to start an ongoing campaign of strike action and protests
against the oppressive management policies at the school which is part of the
Woodard Academy chain.
Teachers say that The Littlehampton Academy management have refused to move an
inch from its regime of bullying micro-management of teaching staff. If
management refuse to listen to the majority of teachers at the school, the
strike will be followed by a two day strike and then further strikes adding up
to 6 days in total.
This is a sad and alarming situation for both the teachers and the students, who will be losing out on valuable school time. Unfortunately, we may see more of this kind of action, as the number of academies - out of Local Authority oversight - grow.
