I visited the picket line at Woodfield Special School on its 12th strike day and found spirits and energy high (just watch that dance!) and solidarity as strong as ever. They are school support staff whose support for each as well as pupils is incredibly strong.
It was clear that these school staff were not going to let the Academy Trust get away with cutting their colleagues' hours and thus their pay while they have £3m in reserves and highly paid executives.
A meeting of staff and parents has been scheduled to discuss the strike and Dawn Butler, the local MP will be contacted by NEU General Secretary Daniel Kebede to gain her support.
The strikers were joined on the picket line by supportive members of Brent TUC, Brent Green Party and Your Party.
