Teachers Strike Over School Violence
Update: 2026-01-06
Description
Teachers at two primary schools in Greater Manchester are on strike, alleging that school leaders have ignored their reports of daily violence from students. The schools, Lily Lane Primary in Moston and Ravensfield Primary in Dukinfield, are run by the Changing Lives in Collaboration Trust, which has not yet commented. Former teacher Conor Priestley quit after just a month due to unchecked aggression, and current staff report daily assaults, ambulance calls, and unpunished threats with knives. The Teachers Union, NASUWT, supports the strikers, who plan walkouts three days a week in January. Union head Matt Wrack accuses leaders of failing their duty and intimidating staff. As teachers fight for safety, the hope is that the trust will soon protect everyone in these schools.
