Industrial Action – Teacher Strikes Planned

We have worked really hard to keep the school open to some of our pupils, we have had to review our risk assessments to accommodate the reduced numbers of staff available to work as a result of wider school closures.

We will update families next week on the final numbers.

Just to confirm we will be operating as before:

• School buses will collect at usual time

• All pupils who arrive at the front entrance, that is, independent travelers, parents and carers drop off and school buddies should arrive at 9.15am. Please do not arrive before as we do not know if there will be a picket line across the school and we do not want this to affect the pupils or dysregulate them.

• School will finish at the usual time of 3.15pm for all pupils

• There are no after school clubs on both strike days

• All pupils who have been identified as attending should attend.  If your child is absent, the usual absence procedure will apply.

• Pupils who have been asked to remain at home because of the strike will be marked with a Y code – this will not affect your child’s attendance record.

School will be back to usual business on Friday 28th April and Wednesday 3rd May with all pupils back to the usual start time.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience.
