A Welsh school partially closes March 9 due to a union strike over workplace issues, affecting Year 10 and sixth form students.

Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan in Abergele will partially close on March 9, with Year 10 and sixth form students absent due to a NASUWT union strike over workplace concerns, while other year groups will attend normally. The school cited financial pressures and leadership restructuring to avoid layoffs, following criticism from education inspectors. Though no formal victimization complaints have been filed, tensions persist despite ongoing talks and ACAS mediation. The school will provide packed lunches for eligible students and maintains that attendance records will not be affected.
