Teachers will go on strike again tomorrow (March 5) before a central London demonstration against academisation.
National Union of Teachers (NUT) members at four schools threatened with academy status - Sedgehill and the borough's three Prendergast schools - will be holding pickets from 7.30am.
Afterwards, they plan a trip to the City of London where they will demonstrate outside offices of the Leathersellers Federation - the organisation which runs the Prendergast schools.
This will be the second strike over academies in recent weeks.
Lewisham NUT branch secretary Martin Powell-Davies said: "We're calling on the governors to hold a full consultation where parents can read and hear both sides of the debate. They should then hold a ballot so that parents can vote on the future of their schools. If the governors are so sure of their arguments, why won’t they agree to ballot parents?"
