Teachers at one of the North East’s top private schools are set to go on strike in a row over pensions.
Members of the National Education Union working for the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action after the trust announced plans to withdraw from the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.
The trust has 25 schools around the country, including Newcastle High School for Girls, which was formed in 2014 by the merger of Church High and Central High.
