Teachers at Caldicot Comprehensive School in Monmouthshire, members of the NASUWT union, have gone on strike twice since September due to concerns about pupil behavior, violence, and abuse. They are also refusing to teach certain pupils they see as risks.
Parents are frustrated by the lack of information and worried about their children's safety. Teaching unions claim that the school's management has not effectively addressed behavior issues, leading to the strikes.
The school closures and refusal to teach certain students have raised concerns about the impact on students' education and safety. Further strikes are planned for November 15, and the head teacher is currently not at work.
Monmouthshire council is committed to resolving the situation, and the Welsh government states it's a matter for the school and the union to resolve.
