Woodhouse High School

Members of the NUT (National Union of Teachers) and ATL (Association of Teachers and Lecturers) Unions will continue their industrial action in protest against the proposed changes to Secondary Education in Tamworth on Wednesday September 16, once again causing teaching issues in the town’s High Schools.

As well as disrupting children’s education, members of the unions along with campaigners from the Hands of Tamworth Schools group will travel to London to protest at Landau Forte Academy who are lined up to run the private run Academy that would replace Woodhouse High School, replacing the Sixth Form provision at the other High Schools in Tamworth.

Christine Blower, General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said;

“Our members’ determination to continue their fight against the Council’s proposals is to be applauded. This is a dispute about education provision for the community of Tamworth and ensuring that every community has a good local school. The case against the plans is overwhelming; students, parents and teachers are vehemently opposed to Tamworth’s family of schools being broken up in this way”
