As The Press reported last week, staff at All Saints RC School in South Bank who are National Education Union (NEU) union members were set to walk out on strike
starting tomorrow (October 8) and Wednesday (October 8 and 9) over what it claimed were numerous major disagreements between the school and the Middlesbrough academy chain to which it now belongs - Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust (NPCAT).
Further strikes were also planned for October 14-16 and 22-25.
On Thursday last week about 150 people crammed into Southlands Methodist Church in South Bank to discuss the plan at a public meeting.
The next day academy trust and the NEU met and the union agreed to call off the strike.
An NEU spokesperson said: "We as a union decided on Friday to postpone the strikes until further notice as a matter of goodwill towards the trust to give them more time to negotiate with us."
Ofsted graded All Saints as 'outstanding' last year ahead of it becoming an academy, but the school has subsequently had inspectors in again earlier this year and again last week pending the outcome of a report.
