NASUWT Members set for strike action at Darwen School
Members of the NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union, will be taking a day of strike action at Darwen Vale High School near Blackburn over pupil indiscipline and poor working conditions.
Staff will be taking a day of industrial action on Thursday 7 April.
Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, said:
“Teachers can’t teach and pupils can’t learn where there is pupil indiscipline.
“This matter is so serious that the teachers have been left with no other option but to take strike action.
“Teachers feel unsupported and vulnerable in the workplace. Governors have a duty of care to staff and pupils and it’s in no one’s interest that these matters are left unaddressed.
“All the teachers want to secure is a safe environment for pupils and staff.” “The NASUWT remains committed to seeking to find a positive way forward.”
