As you are aware, the NEU teachers union have balloted and agreed further strike action on Wednesday 5th and Friday 7th July.
We have continued to do our best to minimise disruption to your child’s education during strike action. As a leadership team, we have covered sessions to allow the school to remain open. However, there is not the capacity to do this in these two instances. This means that we are not able to offer full provision to a single year group as we have in the past.
After discussions with relevant stakeholders and leaders at XP Trust, I am able to inform you that we will be closed to both Year 7 and Year 8 on Wednesday 5th and Friday 7th July.
When students are not in school they can work independently on extended study tasks and ongoing revision for end of year assessments.
