Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Ms J Thorogood's claim against Highworth Grammar School Trust. On 27 January 2026 the tribunal wrote to the claimant warning that it was considering strike out because, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, the claim had not been actively pursued.
The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant did not reply. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The judgment records no remedy, hearing on the merits, or substantive findings on the underlying claim(s).

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
