NEU Strike Update as at March 13th 2023
Dear Parent/ Carer,
I hope you are well and would like to start by thanking you for all of your support so far this term; as always, it is much appreciated. I am writing for the third time to update you on the National Education Union (NEU) strike action you have no doubt heard about in the news.
Given that we are a comparatively small school as an Alternative Provision setting, we will be fully open as normal for the remaining dates on which the NEU is taking industrial action, namely Wednesday March 15th and Thursday March 16th.
For those of you who are unaware, the NEU’s dispute is with the Secretary of State, as “she has failed to give the undertaking sought by the NEU to make available additional and sufficient funds to allow employers to pay a fully funded increase in teachers’ pay at a rate greater than inflation”.
As usual, please also feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] if there are any further questions I can assist with in any way regarding this letter.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Wakefield
Principal
