Industrial Action Day - 26th April

(Please translate this letter using the google bar above if required)

Dear Parent/Carer,

As I’m sure you’ll be aware, teacher unions are planning to take industrial action for a full day on Wednesday 26th April. This is a dispute between teacher unions and the employers; it is not a dispute with the school.

The action will result in whole school closures across Northern Ireland.

The decision to close the school is never taken lightly, but in this instance, where staff have elected to take lawful industrial action, I will have no choice but to take appropriate steps to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of all pupils.

We know that school closures inconvenience parents and carers and so I am writing to give you advance notice of the likely impact of the action on this school.

If the action does go ahead, the following arrangements will be in place:

The school will be closed all day on 26th April.

Please do not send your child(ren) to school on the 26th April as supervision is not available. The school will be open again for all children on Thursday 27th April.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Yours sincerely,

Seamus McCreesh

Principal
