NASUWT members striking today and tomorrow
A former headteacher says choosing to down tools is difficult for educators because it means they lose pay.
Today (11 January) marks the second phase of the NASUWT's industrial action – the union is striking in a row over better pay and conditions.
Teachers will also strike tomorrow.
A number of schools and year groups are affected by the walkout.
