As you will be aware from the media, colleagues in NUT and ATL will be taking industrial action on the Thursday 30th June 2011. The action (a one day strike) will result in class or whole school closures across the country. I have been informed by members of staff at this school that they intend to take strike action on that day and consequently there will be no school for children. School will open as usual on Friday 1st July 2011. 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.
We are aware that school closures inconvenience parents and carers and so I am writing to give you advance notice of the likely impact of the action on this school.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
