Students at Connaught School for Girls have staged a counter-protest against teachers taking part in an ongoing strike, urging them to return to classrooms during the GCSE exam season. The industrial action, led by the National Education Union (NEU), centers on proposed redundancies, workload pressures, pay cuts, and the removal of subjects from the curriculum. The school leaders and some parents claim the strikes are also tied to an investigation into allegations of misconduct involving a unionized staff member.
