A NUMBER of schools in Wyre Forest will be closed or partially closed tomorrow (Tuesday) as some teachers strike over funding and working conditions.
Last month, the National Union of Teachers (NUT) voted in favour of industrial action over pay, working conditions and ‘underfunding’ of schools.
Baxter College, in Habberley Road, and St Bartholomew's CE Primary School, in Princess Way, Stourport, will be closed tomorrow.
The Bewdley School and Sixth Form Centre, in Stourport Road, will be closed to years seven, eight, nine and ten only.
A statement on the NUT website about the strike action said: "The Government's new Education for All Bill continues to show they have the wrong priorities for teachers, schools and children.
"As more schools become academies, the coverage of the national STPCD and Burgundy Book will narrow and these protections will gradually wither away.
"Real term cuts in funding will have major effects on schools and teachers, whether academy or maintained.
"This will further erode terms and conditions, increase workload and impede pay progression for teachers."
