A six-day strike planned by several teachers at a Swansea primary school has been called off at the eleventh hour. Clydach Primary School teachers were all set to go on strike - after already having taken five days of industrial action - claiming the local authority and school governors had failed to address what they alleged were "serious longstanding management failings on the part of the permanent headteacher".
But at 7pm, NASUWT - The Teachers' Union at Clydach Primary School, said it had received news that its requirements to end the strike action had been accepted, but that the dispute continued. Members first walked out on Tuesday, March 21, which resulted in the school having to partially-close.
A spokesman for Swansea Council said: "The union has told us they are lifting the industrial action and parents are being informed school will be open as normal tomorrow (Thursday, March 30). Discussions with the union are continuing." To get the latest Swansea news stories to your inbox, sign up to our newsletter
