Potential school closures due to ongoing industrial action \u2013 10, 11 & 16 January 2023 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Parent\/Carer,<\/p>\n

I wanted to write to you ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays to let you know about
\nplanned strikes by several teacher unions.<\/p>\n

Since the dates are at the beginning of the new term, it does not give us much time when the
\nschools return to let you know about potential disruption. However, the unions have notified the Council of their intention to take part in industrial action on the following dates affecting primary and secondary schools on different days.<\/p>\n

The planned strike days are as follows:
\nTuesday 10 January 2023: All Primary schools, including ASL primary schools
\nWednesday 11 January 2023: All secondary schools, including ASL secondary schools
\nMonday 16 January 2023 \u2013 Primary and Secondary schools, including ASL schools.<\/p>\n

If nothing changes in the next few weeks, it is likely that our schools will be closed to pupils on the above dates, as we have no way of knowing in advance how many staff will be reporting for work. In addition, different unions have coordinated their action this time to take place on the same days.<\/p>\n

Our intention is that nursery classes and standalone nurseries will open as normal.
\nI know that this uncertainty is far from ideal and will mean that you may need to make alternative arrangements at short notice once again.<\/p>\n

I apologise once again for a situation that is beyond the Council\u2019s control, since pay negotiations
\ntake place at a national level. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult period.
\nAs always, we will continue to keep you informed as soon as we have any new information and will update the Council\u2019s normal communication channels.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely
\nDOUGLAS HUTCHISON
\nExecutive Director of Education<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
