The strike is a response to contentious new curriculum alignment plans proposed by the Nishkam School Trust, which teachers believe will negatively affect students and erode their professional autonomy. Central to staff grievances are reductions in lesson time for key subjects; year 9 science classes stand to lose two lessons per week, triple science provision will be cut by three lessons weekly, and Key Stage 3 maths will have one less lesson.
