Dear Parents and Carers,

 

As you are aware, in recent weeks the National Education Union (NEU) balloted their members on industrial action. I am writing to you today to explain what this means for our Federation for next week.

 

Although they are not obliged to, I would like to thank the staff for informing me of their decision ahead of the strike days, therefore allowing me the time to inform you of the situation, thus avoiding last minute plans needing to be made.

The NEU has confirmed that its members will be striking, with national strikes scheduled to take place on Wednesday 5^th and Friday 7^th July. Having assessed the staffing situation, I can now confirm the following:

 

At South View Infant School

Owl, Mole and Rabbit classes closed on both Wednesday and Friday.

 

At South View Junior School

Class 6NB closed for Wednesday only.

 

There will be breakfast club as usual at both schools for those children whose classes are open.

 

Active Play through Storytelling after-school club will not be held, at the infant school, on Wednesday. Other after school clubs will go ahead as usual.

 

If your child is entitled to free school meals and is in one of the classes that is closed, please contact the school office by 4 pm on Tuesday and/or Thursday to choose your child picnic lunch option.  All lunches ordered will need to be collected between 11.30 and 12.30 on strike day.

 

The safety and wellbeing of our pupils is critical and so I am sure you will understand that I have not taken this decision lightly but I will not have enough teaching staff available to run classes safely.

 

Whilst we are giving you early notice about this, it is still possible that arrangements will change further, potentially even on the strike day itself, given the nature of industrial action. However, I will of course endeavour to keep you as informed as possible. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to me or a member of my senior leadership team. Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this time.

 

With best wishes

Mrs S Pape

Executive Headteacher

Don't miss out!!!

 

We have applied for funding to provide parents of those pupils who are eligible for free school meals with a voucher to help with the cost of food over the summer holiday.

 

If you have not previously applied for FSM, and think your child may be eligible, please click on the link below.

Please note this is not the same as Universal Free School Meals that all Infant pupils automatically receive and you will need to apply using the link above.

 

If you are unsure if you are registered please contact the school office as soon as possible.

 

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
