Hundreds of students in Weymouth are expected to stay at home this week as teacher strikes continue. Industrial action at Budmouth Academy will lead to further disruption for families.

Hundreds of pupils at Budmouth Academy in Weymouth are set to miss lessons as strike action continues.

Members of NASUWT will take further industrial action on April 28 and 29.

The walkouts mean the school is expected to be partially or fully closed to some year groups, with many students asked to remain at home.

The dispute is part of wider national concerns around workload, pay and working conditions.

Locally, the ongoing action has already led to repeated disruption for pupils and families.

Parents are being advised to check updates from the school for details on affected year groups and remote learning arrangements.
