You may be aware that The National Education Union (NEU) will be holding strike action in the near future due to a dispute with the government over pay and funding.
The NEU has announced the following dates for the potential strike action:
- Wednesday 1 February 2023: all eligible members in England and Wales
- Wednesday 1 March 2023: all eligible members in the following English regions: East Midlands, West Midlands, Eastern.
- Wednesday 15/16 March 2023: all eligible members in England and Wales.
The NEU is just one of many education unions represented at Coleham, so at this stage I do not know how this will impact classes in our school; I am writing to let you know that there may be some disruption on these dates.
Of course, I apologise for any potential disruption to your child’s education. Please rest assured that I will write to you as soon as possible to let you know further details and if this strike action will impact any of our classes.
