Pupils attending at least 30 Nottingham schools will be affected by teacher strikes which are taking place across the country. A record number of pickets by the National Education Union (NEU) are expected across the East Midlands as teachers join workers including train drivers and university lecturers in walking out on Wednesday (February 1).
In terms of the strikes by teachers, there will be pickets at major schools including the Ellis Guilford School, run by the Creative Education Trust, and the Bluecoat Aspley Academy, run by the Archway Learning Trust. These will last throughout the early morning before the striking teachers join other workers in a march through Nottingham, culminating in a rally being held in the city's Albert Hall building, off Derby Road.
Following the nationwide strike on Wednesday, another strike affecting Nottinghamshire will take place on March 1. There will then be two further nationwide strikes on March 15 and March 16.
