From Brent National Education Union
Following many days of strike action in the Autumn
term at Roe Green Infants to try to save their Strathcona site, the NEU has
announced a successful ballot result for further strike action to fight
redundancies.
In the wake of this successful ballot, Brent Council
have set up a task group to work on avoiding redundancies at the school.
Jenny Cooper, District Secretary of Brent NEU, said,
“This shows what can happen when staff stand together, united, to protect each
other. The council did not engage with the school or its union members until
this further ballot was announced.”
Brent Council is to close the successful Roe Green
Strathcona school site in a phased closure beginning in September 2020.
Meanwhile the NEU has had sight of a
letter sent to Brent primary governors inviting primary schools to open
additional sites for alternative provision due to a shortage of school places
for children with EHCPs. Roe Green Infants were presumably included in this
mailing.
Cllr Jumbo Chan has once again offered his “complete
solidarity” with the NEU members at the school.
