COMMS TO PARENTS – POTENTIAL STRIKE ACTION

Dear parent / carer,
I am writing to inform you that there is potential for strike action from some of our teaching staff. This is due to take place on Tuesday 16th January and will mean that school is closed for Years 7, 8 and 9. Year 10 and 11 will come to school as normal.
I apologise for the short notice; we are continuing to do all we can to reach agreement with our staff to prevent the strike from going ahead. We are still hopeful that a resolution will be found. If the strike is called off, we will update you as soon as we know via our website and text.  We are meeting with our staff on Monday afternoon and will let you know the outcome as soon as possible after this. If we are unable to prevent the strike, you will need to make suitable arrangements to ensure your child is safe and looked after on 16th January 2024.
As mentioned, we are working hard to reach an agreement to prevent the strike, and we will do all we can to minimise disruption to our students.
I will be in touch again as soon as possible with more information.
Monica Duncan
Principal
