Dear Parents/Carers,

You will probably have heard on the news that there is a proposed national strike

potentially involving a large number of public sector employees on

Wednesday 30th November 2011

This proposed strike is in response to the government’s proposed changes to the public sector pension schemes.

Whilst we are aware that a number of school based trade unions have already voted to take strike action on this day, we are still waiting for the outcome of the ballots taken by members of the GMB and NASUWT trade unions.  It will not be until the results of these ballots are known that many schools will be able to fully assess the impact of this action on their school.

However this letter is simply providing you with the information that it will not be necessary to close the school on that day to either some or all year groups. 

Therefore, it will not be necessary for you make alternative arrangements for your child/children for that day as the need does not arise.

Yours sincerely,

V. A. Morris (Headteacher)
