Ensuring all children feel happy, safe and loved

2nd May & 27th April - Strike

25th April 2023

Dear Families,
You may be aware that the next days of industrial action for National Education Union members are due to take place on Thursday 27th April and Tuesday 2nd May.


Although we are working hard to minimise the disruption to our children, we will have no alternative but to close –

27th April - NURSERY and YEAR 5

2nd May – NURSERY only


The unions are in talks with Government in an attempt to reach an agreement around improved school funding and pay for teachers. If they make further progress and the industrial action is called off, I will of course let you know.


If your child is in one of the above year groups and is entitled to a free school meal, you will be emailed a FSM voucher via evouchers for the total of £2.50 per each day.


Thank you for your ongoing support. I will be in touch should there be a change to the arrangements outlined above.


Mrs. A. Oliver
Head Teacher
