You may be aware that Unite the Union has notified the council that its members who support the running and operation of primary schools, secondary schools, ASN schools and early years establishments, will be striking between 26-28 September 2023 in relation to the proposed pay award.

It is anticipated that the St. John Paul II Primary School & Nursery Class  will remain open over the above dates and children should attend as normal.

This is a situation that may be subject to change and you will be contacted directly if information is updated.

PLEASE NOTE:  FRIDAY 22ND SEPTEMBER & MONDAY 25TH SPETMEBR ARE BOTH HOLIDAYS – All schools will be closed for the September Weekend on those dates.

It is anticipated that our school/nursery will reopen on Tuesday 26th September as normal, including Breakfast Club at 8:15am.
