Support staff at a major school trust in Codsall, near Stafford, are set to strike following a union announcement. The walkout will affect three schools within the trust and could disrupt education for hundreds of pupils. Staff have voted to take industrial action over ongoing disputes with management.
The exact timing of the strike has been confirmed by the union, though the underlying causes of the dispute remain disputed between staff representatives and management. Parents and pupils across the three affected schools will need to prepare for potential closures or reduced provision.
