EDUCATION workers in coastal town Peacehaven have entered their seventh day of strike action over plans to hand the school to an unaccountable academy trust.

Teachers at the school in East Sussex have completed a week’s worth of strike action this week against plans by East Sussex County Council to make the school an academy.

The workers, who are members of the National Education Union (NEU), are resisting the efforts of the authorities to hand the school over to the Swale Academies Trust.
