The trades council banner was flying in Hanham in solidarity with striking education workers in the NEU at Hanham Woods Academy. ‘Natural wastage’ redundancies have meant cuts to teaching staff across the curriculum meaning that KS3 pupils now only get 18 hours of art for a whole year! Disgrace!
Our students deserve better!
Our members deserve better!
Our communities deserve better!
The academy chain CLF just spent £1000s on a one-day conference, but say they can’t afford teachers or a balanced curriculum- we demand that they open the books!
Prove the finances or we’ll see you on the picket line again next week!
Solidarity now and always!
