One of the two unions involved, **NASUWT**, has called off its strike action at Darland High School to allow talks with the school and Wrexham County Borough Council, following the appointment of an interim headteacher. **NEU** members are still striking on **30 June and 1 July 2026**, so the school cannot fully open: pupils in **Years 8, 9 and 10** are asked to stay home, while other year groups attend as normal.
