Support striking teachers
It is now confirmed that the strike of NUT members at Hove Park School will close the school on Wednesday. Teachers are opposing proposals to convert the school to an academy and parents, pupils and other campaign supporters are encouraged to show their support of teachers by joining with the pickets.

Both school sites will be picketed – Nevill Road and Valley Campus on Hangleton Way. Teachers will be at the gates from 7am.

Messages of support emailed to handsoffhoveparksch@gmail.com will be forwarded to the teachers taking action.

Please let the school know that parents support this action by emailing:

Head@hovepark.org.uk

governors@hovepark.org.uk

Wednesday is results day
Results of both the council’s ballot of parents and the parent governor elections will also be on Wednesday.

Look out for the NUJ banner!

There will be picket lines from about 7am at Brighton Town Hall (Black Lion St), Hove Town Hall, the bin depot in Hollingdean Road, the fire station at Preston Circus - take your pick!
