Strike Action
 Please note any changes to this information will be shared on the website - please check this page regularly. 

The National Education Union (NEU) has declared strike action, which will take place on Thursday March 2nd  2023. I am writing to give you as much notice as possible of the likely impact of the action on Holy Name School.

While the planned action is as a result of a national dispute between the unions and the government, it is important that we respond accordingly in the interests of our learners whilst respecting the rights of our staff. In anticipation of this action, there will be a partial school closure on Thursday March 2nd  2023



Classes  2 and 4 will remain open, and children should attend school as normal. 

Classes 1, 3 and 5 will be closed on this date.



We appreciate that industrial action may be disruptive, and you may need to change your plans or working arrangements whilst this action is ongoing. We will of course continue to monitor the arrangements in place and will inform you as soon as possible if there are any changes. 


The NEU has indicated that they will continue strike action for a further two days after this first strike on the 15th and 16th March. Please make a note of these dates now and I will write to you in advance of each date to confirm any changes to arrangements and whether the strike is going ahead.

Thank you to all parents who came to share their views about our school with ESTYN on Monday or completed the questionnaire - our ESTYN report will be published in April. 


NEU Strike

Please be aware that future action is planned for 14th February, 15th March and 16th March and I anticipate that some classes will be closed on these days - we will send out information regarding this closer to the time.

Bags/Rucksacks

As we have limited space in school pupils in Classes 1/2/3 are asked not to bring bags and rucksacks to school unless previously agreed - this is because we have no space to store them and they end up being a health and safety hazard in the cloakrooms. Lunch boxes are stored on a trolley and water bottles in the classroom. Pupils in Classes 4 and 5 may bring one bag/rucksack if required.

Reminders

Please can we ask parents/carers not to stand and wave at the outside door by Classes 1 and 2 during drop off and pick up times as it is unsettling many of the children. 


Pupils with long hair should have it tied back for health and safety reasons - earrings should be small stud earrings only. No other jewellery should be worn.


Pupils need to bring a water bottle everyday - this should contain water, not squash.
