Unions ballot members about coordinated action that will lead to many more school closures in England
Heads of schools are likely to join teachers in striking in the new academic year, according to the union that represents them – a move that is likely to lead to far more school closures on strike days in England from September.
The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) has told the Observer that although its strike ballot does not close until the end of July, it is “confident” that it will get past the threshold required for action, based on internal polling.
