FULL DAY STRIKE 18TH JANUARY 2024

11th Jan 2024

Full day strike action on Thursday 18th January 2024

Dear Parent/Guardian,

I am writing to you about the forthcoming strike action by the teaching and non-teaching unions in Northern Ireland. You may have seen coverage of this in the news, and I wanted to inform you about the impact this is likely to have at our school.

When a strike takes place, those taking strike action, stop work and withdraw their labour. Staff involved in the action will, therefore, not undertake any duties during the strike day-18th January 2024.

In partnership with the Board of Governors, I have determined the following:

 The school will be closed to all pupils on Thursday 18th January 2024.

Clearly, this is a difficult situation, which will cause disruption and we appreciate your understanding. Strike action is not something that any member of the school staff undertakes lightly. Those on strike will have thought long and hard about their decision to take this action.

The responsibility to resolve this dispute lies with the Department of Education and our local government. To make your feelings known about the damage that is being done to our schools, the education profession and our children, you can write directly the following people, in addition to your own local political representatives:

Sara Long, CEO: Education Authority, 40 Academy Street, Belfast, BT1
