Teachers Strike Over School Gang Violence
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Teachers at Haydon Bridge High School in Northumberland are on strike, protesting appalling working conditions and lack of support from senior staff. The main issue is alleged gangs of male pupils intimidating teachers, particularly female staff, leading to a culture of misogyny. Despite previous strikes being called off for discussions, no agreement was reached, and little progress has been made. Teachers report ineffective punishments and persistent disruptive behavior, leading to high suspension rates and some staff leaving. The unions hope that this strike will bring about meaningful changes.
