Dear Parent/Carer,
NATIONAL EDUCATION UNION (NEU) INDUSTRIAL ACTION
Further to my previous communication, I can now advise you of the school’s decision in relation to our ability to open on the day of the industrial action (strike action).
On Wednesday 1st February 2023, the school will:
Classes that will be open are - Class 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12 and 13
Classes that will be closed are - Class 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 14
This decision has been based on a full risk assessment and the information available at this point.
This decision may have to change on the day of action if there is sickness absence or a picket line at school that employees have decided not to cross. As I’m sure you understand, we will be unable to advise you of this in advance and we may need to update parents and carers on the morning of the action to advise of any closure. If this occurs we will aim to do this as soon as possible before the start of the school day.
We will continue to update you about the impact for the future dates, nearer the time of them taking place. As a reminder, the dates planned for future Industrial action are:
If you have any questions, please direct these to the school office via email at office@stjosephsrcprimary.rochdale.sch.uk
We will write to you again as soon as we have further information.
Yours sincerely
Mrs C Dunne
Headteacher
