Important notice: Planned Industrial Action in December

 

Staff who are members of the National Education Union (NEU) have announced planned industrial action. This is in relation to pay, conditions and policies. Industrial action is scheduled for 17^th, 18^th and 19^th December. During this period the school will be partially closed to pupils as some staff will be unavailable. Parents will be notified if their child’s class is closed on these days.

We have followed all processes and worked closely with the union, the local authority and HR specialist advisers to find a resolution and avoid disruption – unfortunately an agreement was not reached. We are disappointed that despite our best efforts the strike action will continue. This will have a profound impact on all our pupils who receive specialist care as staff affected will not be available to work. This decision has not been taken lightly and we apologise for the inconvenience this will have on families. The wellbeing of our pupils remains our highest priority, and we are working to minimise the impact on their education.

Updates will be shared as soon as possible, and we encourage you to check your emails and the school website regularly
