11 December 2024

Cllr Vikki Hartstean, Cabinet member for Children's Services, has issued a statement following industrial action by teachers which took place at Gable Hall School, in Stanford-le-Hope, today.

Cllr Hartstean said: “The priority for Thurrock Council is ensuring that children have access to a high-quality education. We are carefully monitoring the situation and I hope that the trust and the union can quickly reach an agreement so that this situation does not further impact pupils, who should be focussing on their education.

“I know that the Regional Schools Director is aware of the situation and is closely monitoring it, as are we.”
