Teachers,Strike,Behaviour Policies

Teachers at St Ivo Academy in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, are planning to strike over the 'draconian' behaviour policies imposed by school bosses. The NASUWT teaching union argues that these policies undermine teachers' authority in the classroom and hinder effective teaching and learning. Parents also express concerns about the negative impact on children's well-being.

Teachers are to strike over "draconian" behaviour policies they are being asked to enforce by school bosses.

“Yet members at St Ivo’s Academy feel that the draconian nature of Astrea’s behaviour policies limit their ability to teach. “Despite some initial progress in talks, since we declared our dispute Astrea have imposed new policies around the monitoring of teachers’ performance, including no-notice observations which were not consulted on and which are having a significantly detrimental impact on members,” he said.
