Industrial Action
As you no doubt are aware, school leader’s union, NAHT Cymru will now engage in industrial action short of strike and the NEU is currently taking discontinuous strike action. The NEU have declared their intent to undertake industrial action on Wednesday February 1st.
These actions may affect the usual provision Pontyclun Primary is able to provide.
At present all classes in school will be running as normal on that day.
However, union members have the right to decide to undertake industrial action up to the day of the strike and may inform the school by 8am on Wednesday February 1st that they will not be teaching their class.
Staff may also be affected by industrial action in their own pupils’ classes and this may impact on their childcare arrangements resulting in them being unavailable to teach their class.
In these situations, I will be obliged to send a ParentMail out to parents/carers as soon as I have been told, informing them that their child will not be able to be taught that day. It would therefore be advantageous for parents/carers to have alternative childcare arrangements in place should this situation occur.
Hopefully this period of dispute will be ended shortly and we will be able to continue with normal school life as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Kind regards,
Mr H Roberts
