PICKET LINE - Thursday 16 March at Ark Elvin Academy, Cecil Avenue,Wembley, HA9 7DU.
7am onwards.
NUT, ATL and NAS/UWT members at Ark Elvin Academy will stage their first day of strike action tomorrow against ten proposed redundancies -part of the fightback against government education cuts.
All those who are sympathetic to the strike are welcome to join the picket line.
Ark Elvin was formerly Copland High School and was forced to become an academy despite opposition from staff, parents and students.
Given the disastrous collapse in the school's results since Ark bought it, ('It's the right decision for students and parents', Pavey, Butt ad nauseam at the time) I assume that it's the head and the senior management who make up the bulk of the proposed redundancies. As this is surely the case, I hope they have lost no time in joining the NUT, ATL and NAS/UWT themselves and that we can all look forward to seeing them on the picket line tomorrow. And well done Ark staff for showing such solidarity with them. It's truly beyond the call of duty.
