Strike Days

You may be aware that teaching members of the National Education Union (NEU) have announced two further days of strike action as the dispute remains unresolved. The next days of strike action are on Wednesday 5th July and Friday 7th July. The strikes are continuing to happen due to the national dispute between the union and the government over pay and funding, and not because of any issues in school. Should the government and union leaders reach some agreement it may be possible that the industrial action is avoided. As before, when we had to partially close the school, we will unfortunately be in the same position.

​

As previously, it is with great regret that we are having to partially close the school on both Wednesday 5th July and Friday 7th July. This will mean that we will be closed to students in Years’ 7 to 9 on Wednesday 5th remaining open for Year 10. On Friday 7th we will be closed to students in Years’ 8 to 10 remaining open for Year 7. We will remain open for students in Year 12 on both days as should a teacher be on strike, they will undertake independent study during this time. While we will be open for these year groups, it is likely that there will still be disruption to their normal day.

For clarity:
Wednesday 5th July – school open for Year 10 and Year 12 only.
Friday 7th July – school open for Year 7 and Year 12 only.
