Report from Lewisham

Martin writes:

We held a well-attended emergency NUT reps meeting tonight – especially good as it was the first day back after the holidays! Reports from school reps confirmed that nearly half our schools will be totally closed by the strike and most others partially closed with only a handful unaffected. Plans have been made for school-gate protests at many of the big secondary schools and then a big Lewisham NUT contingent will be joining the march in Central London.
