Two in five secondary schools have transition days planned for primary pupils on next month’s strike days, according to survey that shows the potential disruption of new industrial action during an “unusually busy week”.
TeacherTapp surveyed over 7,000 teachers to estimate potential disruption after the National Education Union confirmed strike action on July 5 and 7.
While schools are yet to finalise decisions on affected events, two in five (39 per cent) of secondary schools had transition days planned. Year six pupils usually visit their new school ahead of their start date in September.
Nearly one in five (17 per cent) of teachers school trips have been planned on strike days, while seven per cent said residential trips had been scheduled.
