Parents at strike-hit London schools relieved after walkouts called off at eleventh hour

Parents at the most strike-hit group of schools in London spoke of their relief on Tuesday after more looming walkouts were called off at the eleventh hour.

Children at the Prendergast group of schools in Lewisham have already lost 12 days of school to strikes in a row over the group becoming a multi academy trust, and more were planned for this week.
