Dear Parent,

As you will be aware from the media, colleagues in NUT and ATL will be taking industrial action on the Thursday 30th June. The action (a one day strike) will result in class or whole school closures across the country.
The decision to close the school or send pupils home is never taken lightly, but in this instance, where staff have elected to take lawful industrial action, I will have no choice but to take appropriate steps to ensure the health, safety and well being of all pupils.
This means that the school will be closed to all pupils for the day on Thursday 30th June, as we cannot run the school, nor ensure the safety of children with the number of staff we will have available.
We are aware that school closures inconvenience parents and carers and so I am writing to give you advance notice of the impact of the action on this school so that you can make childcare arrangements in advance. Please note the breakfast and after school club will not be operating on this day either.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
Yours sincerely,

P M Bailey
Headteacher
