Teachers strike: Here’s the full list of Cambridgeshire schools affected
Cambridgeshire County Council has released details of school closures and partial closures ahead of a teachers’ strike on Wednesday February 1.
It will be the first of four teachers’ strikes in the eastern region announced by the National Education Union (NEU) in a dispute over teachers’ pay and the underfunding of education generally.
Jonathan Lewis, Director of Education for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough said: “The emerging picture is one of significant disruption.
“Even schools which are fully open will see some disruption to the curriculum. We will be collating information on which schools are closed or partially closed and updating our website regularly.
“Headteachers are writing to parents to allow them to make decisions.
“In the case of full closure, schools are being encouraged to support vulnerable children and critical worker children, although capacity is likely to be limited.”
Further strikes are due to take place on March 1 in the eastern region, east and west midlands, followed by March 15 and 16 across the whole of England and Wales.
The Department for Education (DfE) has said it expects headteachers to take all reasonable steps to keep schools open for as many pupils as possible
The decision to open, restrict attendance, or close a maintained school is for the headteacher. The decision for academies rests with the relevant academy trust, but is usually taken by the principal.
While employees are not required to tell their employers whether they intend to take strike action, headteachers are entitled to ask staff in advance if they intend to strike so they can plan how to manage the strike.
Without a firm understanding of who is striking, school leaders must consider the impact on the health and safety of children and staff in deciding whether they remain fully open.
Where schools have no option but to restrict attendance, they should consider, where possible, providing remote education. Striking teachers cannot be compelled to set work for students to complete on the day of the strike and are encouraged by the NEU not to do so.
Advice from the DfE is that there is no legal requirement for schools to teach the curriculum on strike days and the offer around schools is likely to be limited.
