Industrial Action – 28th Feb and 1st March

Dear Parents and Carers,

Industrial action affecting schools and early learning and childcare settings, Tuesday 28 February 2023 and Wednesday 01 March 2023.

Shetland Islands Council have been informed that members of three teaching unions, the Education Institute for Scotland (EIS), the Scottish Secondary Teachers Association (SSTA) and the NASUWT have voted to undertake industrial action on Tuesday 28 February 2023 and Wednesday 01 March 2023.

Therefore, Dunrossness Primary school will be closed for children and young people on Tuesday 28 February 2023 and Wednesday 01 March 2023.

The Early learning and Childcare setting will be open as normal.

NOOSC  will be open all day on Wednesday 1st March 9am to 4.30pm for child care.

I will write to you again, if there are any further developments or changes to the position on the planned closure days, ahead of Tuesday 28 February 2023.

Yours sincerely,

Gina Finch

Our Junior Road Safety Officers have been reading to the Nursery children this week, helping them to learn more about staying safe when out and about.  They spent their lunchtimes choosing books and preparing questions to ask the children.   The group want to make sure road safety messages are being shared with everyone in the school.

Our JRSOs are already planning their next whole school event which  looks like a lot of fun!  They will be sharing more information about this soon!

Dear Parents and Carers,

As you are now aware, industrial action is planned again by the teaching unions for next Monday 6th February.  If this goes ahead as planned, the School will be closed for primary aged pupils and the Early Years Nursery will also be closed. 

NOOSC will be open  9am to 4.30pm  on Monday 6th to offer childcare for any primary age child who may need it.  Please complete the booking form if you would like  your child to attend.

If NOOSC is open all day Monday 6th this means it  will not be open on the following  Friday 10th Feb  after school.

If the industrial action does NOT  go ahead then NOOSC will revert to normal hours.

Kind regards,

Gina Finch
