Schools have been told to raid their own coffers to support exams students affected by this week’s train strike to get to school.
The RMT rail union confirmed today that industrial action over pay, jobs and conditions will go ahead as planned tomorrow, on Thursday and on Saturday. There will also be a strike on the London Underground tomorrow.
The strikes coincide with GCSE and A-level exams, with several papers scheduled to be sat on Tuesday and Thursday.
Although the vast majority of children travel to school by car, bus or on foot, many use trains, especially in urban areas.
