At the time of writing this blog, we have a question that’s still open asking you which events you have on in your school on the days of the newly-announced strikes. We’ve had a sneak peek to report on what events might be disrupted by the latest strike action.
Just one-in-three teachers consider the planned strike days to be “normal” working days, with the rest saying they have at least one special activity planned for that time. Schools are yet to finalise decisions on how these events will be affected, but here is a preview of the plans for these days:
- 39% of Year 6 students have a planned secondary transition day. This could affect younger primary students too, as many will see their new teacher at the same time
- 17% of teachers indicated some students will be on day trips, and 7% said a residential is taking place
- 14% of teachers said their has a planned sports day
- 12% of primary teachers said their school has a scheduled concert or other performance
Of course, strike action on these days will make any disruption more noticeable, but it may place many of you in difficult positions, with these one-off experiences difficult to reschedule.
