Hello everyone,

Please see two letters below which children have been given today in paper form.

School closure letter 2nd May 2023 update

April Newsletter

I would like to clarify why nursery is closed on Tuesday, alongside all other classes.

When all of a school’s senior leadership team are on strike, the school and nursery must close. On previous strike days, both myself and our deputy headteacher – Mrs Mavin – have both been on strike so all classes were closed. Yesterday, I chose not to strike as there were maintenance jobs I needed to do in school that school cannot afford to pay external contractors to do. This was not an easy decision to make and I fully support our teachers who were on strike.

On Tuesday 2nd May, I will be striking alongside our teachers so nursery and all classes are closed. Please be assured, we do not want to strike and lose pay but the chronic underfunding of schools leaves us with no choice.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs Johnson
