Strike Action Wednesday 5th and Friday 6th July

Due to strike action we will need to severely restrict pupil access to school this week.

We will only be open to the most vulnerable and critical workers:

We will contact Vulnerable families today to invite them in, and Critical Workers need to book a place by TUESDAY 4th by 1pm via Parent Pay.

Please see the list: Critical Worker places are only available for those that have no one else to care for them on the days. Please let us know which day you require.

Vulnerable children and young people, and critical workers – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

To find out why there is strike action, please see National News.

Thursday is normal

NEXT WEEK

Transition day plans

We are very excited that next week we will be preparing for transition to next year’s new classes. We do this in line with our vision that every child can be given the opportunity to flourish and our core values of inspiring hope, developing perseverance and building friendship. Pupils will meet their staff for next year and spend time in their new classroom.

Monday 3rd July: Your child will arrive at normal time and go to their normal current class. At the end of the day, they will leave from their current class as usual.

We will send a letter home with the new classes for 2023-24 on this Monday. Please note their new teacher and classroom.

Tuesday 4th July: Your child will go directly to their new class. At the end of the day, they will leave via their new class at 2.45pm. If collecting your child, please ensure you know where they will be.

Children should come in school uniform on both days. (Not PE Kit – Year 5 note for Tuesday!)

Strike Days

Wednesday 5th July and Friday 7th July

The NEU have announced two strike days next week. Unfortunately, like on previous occasions, I do not know yet in what capacity we can open the school. Please plan for your child to remain at home on these two days, and I will let you know more details later this week.

If we can open for ‘Vulnerable pupils’ (EHCP/supported pupils) and children of Key workers, you will need to contact the school to plan arrangements. We will our send our plans out later this week.

Thursday 6th July

We will be holding a Science Day on Thursday 6th. Pupils will be in this year’s classes for this day.
