Strike Action - Disruption to Classes *Important*

Dear Parents, 

As you will know from media coverage and my previous communications, the NEU (National Education Union) have declared strike action with a series of one day strikes beginning on February 1st. 

Last week, I was in a position whereby I was able to open all classes, albeit with some adjustment to staffing and curricular plans. However, some staff have now (as is their legal right) decided that they will be participating in the strike action, which has now made it impossible to accommodate all children as originally planned. Furthermore, support staff unions have advised their members clearly regarding covering for striking teachers, which means I am now not able to keep all classes open safely on Wednesday 1st February.

On Wednesday 1st February, years 1, 3 and 5 will be closed to pupils. 

I can absolutely appreciate the frustration and disruption this may cause to families, however I would ask that all members of our school community continue to treat each other with respect. We are keeping up to date with the situation and will inform you of any further changes as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Miss E Wilson
