It is believed that NUT members at STEM Academy Tech City are looking at proposals that could see the strike suspended later today as more detailed talks between the union and the school's management continue.
Last week the strike went ahead as the NUT and school managers fell out

'...principal John O'Shea described the NUT's "ludicrous" decision to press ahead with strike action so quickly as "unfair and irrational"... he (said he) had been presented by the NUT with a recognition document to sign, but told the union's representatives that he would need to take legal advice first... 'there's no way I could sign a legally binding document like that in one day,'
'Bob Stapley, the NUT’s regional secretary for London, said: 'NUT members are keen for a swift resolution to this dispute so as to minimise any potential disruption to students’ education.
'The NUT has indicated its willingness to meet with management at the earliest opportunity. We are, therefore, disappointed that the school’s management are unable to make themselves available to meet with us before 13 February, which would be the fifth day of strike action.''
