Teachers at Rishi Sunak’s old private school could soon be preparing to strike next month in a reported dispute over pay and pensions.

The prime minister is currently presiding over the largest wave of industrial action in decades, with teachers across the country voting this week to walk out of schools across the country over seven days between now and mid-March, in a dispute over pay.

Now staff at Winchester College – where Mr Sunak was once head boy – are expected to follow suit in taking strike action next month.
