Dear Brockley Families,

 

You may be aware from media coverage that the NEU Teaching Union has declared strike action, which will take place on 01.02.23 as well as the 15 & 16.03.23. The strike is happening because of a national dispute between the unions and the government over teachers’ pay, and not because of any issues at our school. 

I’m getting in touch to give you as much notice as possible that learning may be disrupted on 01.02.23, 15 and 16.03.23. I can assure you we are considering several options as to how school will manage staffing and the safety of our community, and I will be in touch as soon as possible before the action is scheduled with the plan.

I’m sorry about the potential disruption to you and to your child’s education. I understand that this situation may be frustrating and ask that all members of our school community continue to treat each other with respect. Brockley Primary School remains committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our pupils and delivering high-quality teaching.

We are working closely with our staff union representatives to keep up to date with the situation, and I will inform you of the final arrangements as soon as possible via email, text, Facebook and the school website.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Rodgers directly.
