NEU Teacher Strike Days

Re: NEU Teacher Strike Days:    Weds 1^st March

Weds 15^th + Thurs 16^th March

Dear Parent/Guardian(s)

Further to my letters of 17^th and 27^th January, I would like to remind you of the next NEU (National Education Union) strike action day on Wednesday 1^st March 2023. This is a regional strike day which includes the East Midlands.

The NEU is the largest teaching union, and many of the Oak Field teachers belong to this union.

Further talks at national level are due to take place, but the DfE and the Local Authority (LA) are advising schools to prepare for this next strike action.

Again, at this point, we don’t yet know if, or how many, teachers might be taking strike action, but I do need to advise you to prepare for some disruption and potential closure of classes/the school on Weds 1^st March.

Please therefore be prepared to put in a contingency plan for that day, when your child/children might not be able to come to school. We will of course make every effort to minimise disruption if we can.

I will update you as soon as we know more.

Yours sincerely

Patricia Lewis

(Headteacher)
