Dear Parent/Carer, 

NATIONAL EDUCATION UNION (NEU) INDUSTRIAL ACTION

Further to last week's newsletter, I can now advise you of the school’s decision in relation to our ability to open on the day of the industrial action (strike action). 

On Wednesday, 1st February 2023, the school will: 

Open partially to all children except those in Maple class. 

This decision has been based on a full risk assessment and the information available at this point. 

This decision may have to change on the day of action if there is sickness absence or a picket line at school that employees have decided not cross. As I’m sure you understand, we will be unable to advise you of this in advance and we may need to update parents and carers on the morning of the action to advise of any closure. If this occurs we will aim to do this as soon as possible before the start of the school day. 

We will continue to update you about the impact for the future dates, nearer the time of them taking place.

As a reminder, the dates planned for future Industrial action are:

Tuesday, 28th February 2023

Wednesday, 15th March 2023

Thursday, 16th March 2023

If you have any questions, please direct these to the school office on 01706 378 273.  

We will write to you again as soon as we have further information. 

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Taylor-Smith

(Headteacher)
