More than 100 teachers and support staff have gone on strike today (April 30) at All Saints RC secondary school and St George's RC primary in Fishergate.
As a result St George’s will be closed all day and All Saints will only be open to pupils in Year 11 and Year 13, the groups who will be taking their examinations this summer.
Those on strike are National Education Union (NEU) members and there are picket lines at both school gates this morning and further strikes planned on Tuesday and Wednesday June 24 and 25 and an additional strike date planned for St George's on Tuesday, May 13.
They say it is over issues they have with financial management at the Middlesbrough academy chain to which the schools now belong - Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust (NPCAT).
