NEU Strike 5 & 7 July 2023

Dear Parents/Carers

NEU Strike 5 & 7 July 2023

I hope that you are well. I write to update you with details for the planned NEU strike action which takes place this Wednesday 5th July and Friday 7th July 2023.

Having reviewed staffing levels and our risk assessment I have decided to close the college to all students in Years 7 to 10 on each of the days. Year 12 students will continue on their work experience as normal for the week.

In order to minimise the disruption to children’s education, work will be set on Google classroom for years 7 to 10 as follows:

Where staff present for work, there will be work set within their individual Google classroom class.

Where staff are striking, generic work will be available in the year group classroom to support children with key activities across different subject areas.

Thank you as always for your understanding and support.

Kind regards


Mr P McLoughlin
Headteacher
