Industrial Action Wednesday 5th July and Friday 7th July
Next week on Wednesday and Friday there are 2 days of planned industrial action by the National Education Union.
The majority of teachers at our school are members of this union. I anticipate therefore that a significant number of classes will be closed to children on Wednesday 5th July and Friday 7th July next week.
We will endeavour to inform you as soon as possible if your child will be able to attend school on the days of industrial action.
However, I will not have final confirmation of this until 8:30am on Wednesday and Friday . It is likely that there will be a small number of children who will be expected to attend school on Wednesday and Friday for a variety of reasons.
Please do not send your child to school unless you are contacted by text and/or email. It is important that you keep a close eye on emails and texts from school so that you know if your child can or cannot attend school on the days of the strikes. All children should attend school on Thursday as normal as this is not a strike day. If your child's class is open on the strike days then your child must attend school.
Myself and every member of staff fully appreciate that industrial action will cause difficulties for many of you. Industrial action within the education sector is certainly not an easy decision for staff at any level to make. Unions are understandably campaigning for any pay rises to be directly funded by Government, this may not always be apparent in the media and the information that is shared by Government with the public. Many thanks for your understanding and support.
