Dear Parent/Carers,

You may be aware that a number of public sector trades unions have balloted for industrial action in connection with the government’s proposals to introduce fundamental changes to the relevant pension schemes. Members of the unions involved are being called upon to take strike action on Wednesday 30 November 2011.

This is proposed as a national day of action and the dispute is not with the school or local authority. The majority of teaching staff and a significant number of support staff in schools are members of unions proposing strike action.

In consultation with the Chair of Governors, I have made the decision that due to the number of staff taking industrial action on 30th November; regrettably it will not be possible to open the school to the children on that day.

If the planned action is called off, this situation will obviously change. We will keep you updated with any developments in the situation and inform you immediately, if it is possible to open the school on that day.



Best wishes


Matt Condon
