Dear Families,
We hope this finds you well. We are expecting the majority of teachers to strike on Thursday 2nd March, and other staff including teaching assistants supporting this strike action. There will be a picket line at the entrance to the school gates and other staff (support staff) may decide not to cross the picket line based on their union guidance.
This means most of our teachers will not be in school on 2nd March and more than likely many support staff. Your child will not have known staff with them. There will be no class timetable of the curriculum. The aim will be to have a safe environment for those pupils who need the safety of the school environment
Families will receive a text on 28th February by 11am to provide you with the update for your child.
The update will be:
a) Your child is able to come to school if they have:
- behaviour plan
- child protection plan
- allocated higher tier social worker
- complex medical profile requiring specialist support
- however, you can decide not to send them to school.
b) Your child should not come to school on 2nd March because their teacher is expected to strike and they do not have:
- behaviour plan
- child protection plan
- allocated higher tier social worker
- complex medical profile requiring specialist support
- however, if your feel your child is safer at school than at home please let us know.
- we will provide a £5 voucher if your child qualifies for Free School Meals and needs to stay at home
c) Your child's class teacher has confirmed they are not striking, their class will also be open.
- The school timetable will not take place on 2nd March 2023. School dinners are still being made.
- We will update local authority transport today.
Please contact us on 02076818080 Tuesday 28th February from 1:30pm if you have any questions after you receive the update. Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Vijita
