Parents in Sussex are opposing the decision for their children's school to convert into an academy.

Scores of parents in Sussex are opposed to their children's school being converted into an academy. Around 150 attended a public meeting where many backed taking direct action.

Among the options being considered - a "strike" where they keep children away from classes or sending pupils to school not wearing school uniform.

The head teacher and governors say they are just consulting on the move which would remove the 1500 pupil Hove Park School and Sixth Form from local authority control and give the school extra freedoms.
