Industrial Action Update and School Arrangements – Thursday 2 July 2026

Dear Parent & Carer,

I would like to confirm that the outcome of the ballot from the NEU has confirmed that members have voted to continue with the intended Industrial days planned this week (Thurs/ Fri) and next week (Mon, Tues, Wed). I met again with the reps this morning with the hope of further understanding the demands they are making, to try to avert the strikes.

We have made significant improvements and will continue this work to the end of the academic year and into the next. Thank you to all families for the supportive feedback, we remain committed to making this school the outstanding provision it can be.

The changes to the day for Thursday 2nd July;
