Teachers strike over six Hackney school closures as 28-day consultation begins Teachers in Hackney have said they feel like they have been trampled on and “treated like fools” as they desperately fight to keep their schools open.
Due to a legal condition, teachers may also have to wait four weeks to start a new job, meaning they may not be able to start a new role until October after being made redundant in August.
The teacher also highlighted that staff will be entering a tough teaching job market with fewer positions, meaning it could be difficult to get jobs by the start of the next school year.
Staff at the school had hoped they would be offered an improved offer if they stayed until the end of the school year.
I think other people need to see what we’re doing and learn what we have done this year so if it is their school next year they have a model to go and people to reach out to.”.
