High school workers at risk of redundancy

A report in the Eastern Daily Press claims that 59 members of staff at Reepham High School are at risk of redundancy from the cash-strapped Synergy Multi Academy Trust, which runs 16 schools in the county.
 
The latest proposals could see the loss of seven teachers at the school, compared with original plans to axe 16, as well as 18 support staff posts replaced with 14 as part of cuts in the student and pastoral support departments.

High school job cuts postponed after strike threat

Synergy Multi-Academy Trust, which had been considering making 16 of the 71 teachers at Reepham High School redundant, has put its plans on hold after public outcry and strike threats, but has warned of further cuts.
 
The plans were met with widespread objections from parents, with more than 1,300 people signing a petition against the job cuts. A protest was also held outside the school yesterday morning.
