Avenue Primary School Anti-Academies Strike

My picture from yesterday's strike picket by teachers and lobby by parents against the proposed academination of Avenue Primary School in Manor Park, Newham.

There has now been I believe an incredible 19 days of strike action at the school.

While I know that both sides of the dispute genuinely believe they are acting in the best interests of the children, I really cannot understand why the school management does not agree to ballot the parents on this issue?

If there is a democratic ballot of parents - the strikes will stop.

So please ballot ASAP!
