Dear Families,
We are writing to provide information ahead of the national teacher strikes on Thursday, 27th April 2023. We anticipate the majority of our teachers to strike, and a high number of staff unable to come to work because their children's schools are closed.
- Our school timetable will not take place on 27th April 2023.
- Pupils that come into school will be working with staff members that may not be from their current teaching team.
- Families will receive a text today, 24th April at 1pm to provide you with the update for your child.
The update will be:
a) Your child is able to come to school because 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 27th April because they do not have:
- behaviour plan
- child protection plan
- allocated higher tier social worker
- complex medical profile requiring specialist support
- we will provide a £5 voucher if your child qualifies for Free School Meals and needs to stay at home
- however, if your feel your child is safer at school than at home, please let us know after 2pm today.
c) Your child's class teacher has confirmed they are not striking, their class will also be open.
Please contact us on 02076818080 on 24th April 2023 from 2pm if you have any questions after you receive the update.
We will update local authority transport. Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Swiss Cottage School
