PRIVATE schools should have their charitable status removed if they continue with fire-and-rehire policies, NASUWT head Patrick Roach has demanded.
Speaking at the union’s annual conference in Birmingham on Sunday, the general secretary criticised “bad bosses who believe it’s OK to threaten teachers with the sack in order to drive down their wages and living standards.”
Teachers at the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), a group of 23 private schools, went on strike earlier this year over their schools’ withdrawal from the national Teachers’ Pension Scheme.
