SUPPORT is growing for Grammar School teachers whose time at the school is due to finish as their housing licences are set to expire.

Sixth-form students, who fear for their future education, set up a Facebook group called Save Teachers, Change Housing Law this week, which doubled its membership to 400 in just 24 hours.

Six A-level teachers will lose their five-year housing licences at the end of the summer term. At least three have had an extension application denied.

Livvy Rogers, 16, said she was dissatisfied with Housing minister Dave Jones’s answers about teachers’ housing licences at the annual deputies’ forum.

It has been reported that Deputy Jones told students that there was no evidence for their education suffering, as Grammar grades were satisfactory overall.

‘What he said was ridiculous, really,’ said Miss Rogers.

‘If the teachers do have to leave, it could affect our results because new teachers would have to be brought in halfway through the course and we have come here to get the best grades we can.’
