Dear Parents/Carers,
As I am sure you have seen in the media, a day of strike action has been called for all public sector workers on the 18th January 2024. We have been informed by the teaching and non teaching unions, that a full day of strike action will take place on Thursday the 18th January 2024. As a result of this the school will be closed for all pupils on this date. I apologise for the disruption which this will cause but I would ask for your understanding and support. Taking strike action is not something that we have undertaken lightly. Those on strike have thought long and hard about their decision and they will also lose pay for the period that they are on strike. The responsibility to resolve the dispute lies squarely with the Department of Education and our local government. We sincerely hope that the dispute can be resolved as a matter of urgency.
Thank you
Mrs F Boyd Principal
