Monday 23r January 2023 Industrial Action – NEU Dear Parents and Carers,

You may have seen on the news that the members of the NEU Teachers’ Union have reached the threshold for strike action to take place. The first planned day of industrial action will be on Wednesday 1st February.

We are currently planning to stay open to as many children as we possibly can. This means that your child may not be taught by their usual teacher on Wednesday and may not follow the usual planned curriculum. But they will be in school.

If we have to close a class this will only occur when it is not safe to open due to insufficient staff. This remains highly unlikely at the moment as we are working to avoid this. However, parents will be informed of this decision as soon as possible via See-Saw and text message.

Year 5 Parents I can confirm that swimming for Year 5 children will go ahead as planned on Wednesday 1 st February and will not be affected by any strike action taking place.

With Best Wishes

Miss Hannah Tudor Headteacher
