More Teachers’ Strikes at Tewkesbury Academy Prompt Principal’s Disappointment

Thursday, May 7, 2026 education strikes tewkesbury teachers behaviour neu nasuwt school disruption unions

Tewkesbury Academy is facing another wave of teacher strikes amid continuing concerns over poor behaviour by a minority of pupils. The school’s principal, Kathleen McGillycuddy, described the situation as a “huge disappointment” as further disruptions threaten students’ education. The secondary school on Tewkesbury’s outskirts has grappled with a dispute focused on abusive and disruptive conduct from some pupils. Teachers cite these behaviours as the catalyst for the industrial action, which began in early February and now is set to continue.
