Teachers at a school in the Vale of Glamorgan will take strike action in a dispute over Planning Preparation and Assessment time.
Staff at Llantwit Major High School will tomorrow (March 12) take their first day of strike action.
The industrial action follows a decision by the school and its governors to cut Planning Preparation and Assessment time to the absolute minimum allowed under current rules.
Daniel Maney, senior Wales organiser for the National Education Union Cymru, said: "NEU members have taken strike action due to a lack of commitment on protecting existing terms and conditions.
"Our members are not asking for anything unreasonable – just to be treated fairly and in keeping with long standing entitlements.
"We remain committed to reaching a negotiated outcome, but equally will not stand by when they are facing detriment."
The National Education Union said longstanding behavioural issues at the school will 'get worse as sufficient PPA time is essential for dealing with these issues.'
Despite meetings between union officials, the school leadership and local authority, and despite numerous warnings that taking this action would result in strike action, the union says school has decided to proceed with this cut regardless.
