It is intended that all education establishments, except for our 23 individual family learning centres and 52-week nurseries based in school settings, will be closed to children and pupils on Thursday 24 November 2022 due to industrial action by teaching unions.
This means that all term-time (38-week) early years establishments, school-based nurseries, primary, secondary and additional support needs schools are expected to be closed to pupils and children on Thursday 24 November.
All buildings will remain open to staff during the period of the strike action.
All educational and early years establishments will open as normal on Friday 25 November.
What you need to know
Children and young people should not attend school or nurseries within schools on Thursday 24 November. Some ELC establishments will remain open. Please access NLC Advice on Industrial Action for more information.
You may need to consider alternative arrangements for childcare.
As all early years establishments and schools facilities will be closed to children and young people, there will not be any school meal provision on site, and there will not be any school transport (mainstream and ASN), breakfast clubs or school crossing patrols on Thursday 24 November.
Families in receipt of free school meals on the basis of low income will be reimbursed via a direct payment to bank accounts or via Paypoint voucher to postal addresses which may take up to five working days.
Teachers, early years and other school support staff who are not striking, will continue to work from their place of work on the day of the strike.
