Save Downhills School statement:
“The NUT have balloted teachers at Downhills and they have unanimously voted to take sustained and discontinuous strike action in relation to the proposed transfer of staff employment. Unison members at the school are also being balloted around taking action. The NUT are now taking their first strike day on Tuesday 22nd May, and the school will be closed as a result of that action. The Save Downhills Campaign fully support our teachers and are planning to hold an event in the local park for all of our teachers, parents and children as well as community supporters.”
