NASUWT members at Whickham School in Gateshead took strike action yesterday after a 70% yes vote in a ballot against turning the school into an Academy (i.e. opting out of local authority control)
Academies can be more like independent schools, setting curriculum admission policies and being selective and often opt out of buying services from local council (i.e. special education support etc.)
