Please see the letter provided: Industrial Action Letter to parents 220323

Dear Hyndland Families and Carers,

We have been asked to share the following communication , received this afternoon, from our Directorate. As a consequence of the equal pay strike action notified for Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 March 2022 a centralised assessment of the likely staffing impact has led to the conclusion establishments cannot safely open for early years and childcare settings, primary schools and ASL schools on the 29th and 30th March.

GCC Primary schools will be closed to pupils on both days in response to reduced staffing levels and the health and safety risk due to the anticipated reduction in cleaning resources.

In all cases, we have been notified that staff will expected to report for work as normal in their own school / nursery and, where closed to pupils, undertake appropriate work or staff development activity similar to an in-service day. We have been advised that there is no expectation of a digital learning offer for pupils over the closure period.

Unfortunately our second Parents Evenings were due to be held upon the evening of Wednesday 30th March; as there will be no LETS granted for these two days , we will have to move the telephone appointments to the next evening Thursday 31st March
( all times will remain the same).

P2A Teachers Wednesday 30th Appointments will move to Monday 28th March due to an unavoidable clash of revised dates. If you cannot take your call on the new date please contact our school office team so we can try and reschedule your call.

Our sincere apologies for the late changes but we have only been advised of the Council decision today to close establishments.

Kind regards
The Hyndland Team
