Hospital school teachers have gone on strike again after bosses resisted a tribunal order to temporarily reinstate their sacked colleague.

Teacher Kate Williams spent nearly 15 years at the Children’s Hospital School located at the world-renowned Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and UCLH, where she taught desperately ill children between the ages of 4 and 18.
