TEACHERS at a rural Northampton primary school will strike with support from parents in a bid to stop its takeover by an academy trust.
The academisation of the voluntary-aided Church of England Sywell Primary School is deeply opposed by parents, whose petition against the move has been signed by 800 people.
The National Education Union (NEU) said today that its action is supported by a community that has campaigned hard against the change but has been ignored by the governing body and the Peterborough Diocese Education Trust (PDET).
