Oxford teachers went on strike again this week in a dispute over their pensions.
Seventy-five teachers from Oxford High School, a private girls’ school off Banbury Road, voted to take industrial action in protest at changes to their pension.
The Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), which runs Oxford High, is planning to withdraw from the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), of which most teachers nationally are a part.

GDST announced six days of strikes starting from February 10, when teachers first took to the picket line this year.
On Tuesday more industrial action took place and protesters were seen on Marston Ferry Road near the school.
More strike action has been planned with further strikes expected on Wednesday March 2 and Thursday March 3.
NASUWT teacher's union said that staff have been threatened with dismissal from their jobs if they refuse to sign new contracts which include the ‘downgraded’ pension entitlement.
