Further strikes are planned at a Kent secondary school where teachers have suffered threats and violence from pupils.
Staff at Oasis Academy, on the Isle of Sheppey, went on strike on Wednesday this week demanding a zero-tolerance approach to bad behaviour after months of concerns about safety.
National Education Union (NEU) bosses are meeting the Oasis Community Learning Trust on Friday, November 24, before more strike action is expected over five days.
The days of action are planned for November 28 and 29, and December 5 to 7.
Nick Childs, senior regional officer for the NEU, said ahead of the first strike that behaviour at the school is currently “completely unacceptable” with lessons regularly disturbed and staff safety put at risk.
On Thursday, an NEU spokesperson said: “Educators and pupils have a right, first and foremost, to be safe at school. Effective behaviour management in the classroom is essential for a good learning environment.
“Sadly, our members feel that this is not the currently case at Oasis Sheppey Academy despite some progress in negotiations being made in recent days.
“Further days of action have been scheduled for next week and we are meeting the trust on Friday to try and resolve the situation.
