What to do if Head teacher goes on strike

Head teachers taking strike action should delegate their duties to another member of the senior management team.

If the whole senior management team is on strike, the governing body can approach another person to carry out their duties - for example a senior teacher, or a known trusted retired head teacher.

For Academies - the governors or directors of the Academy Trust will decide how, and through whom, it wishes to run the Academy.
