Dear Parent/Carer

NEU strike action for teachers

27 April 2023(England)
| 2 May 2023(England)


I am writing to update you with the plans for the industrial action on Thursday 27th April & Tuesday 2nd May 2023.

Due to the number of staff taking action, we have made the decision to close the academy again to all students apart from Year 11 who will be expected to attend as normal.  Vulnerable students can also attend as normal.  

Whilst the academy will be closed to some students, online learning via Google Classroom will be available to all students and students will be expected to complete the work set.

Students in all year groups who are in receipt of free school meals may attend between 11am and 12pm to collect a grab bag lunch. These can be collected via the student entrance.  If you are entitled to a free school meal and would like to collect one, please complete the attached Google Form

The school buses will be running as normal.

In order to ensure that we can communicate any changes to these plans at short notice; which may include on the day itself, we are asking parents/carers to ensure that we hold up to date emergency contact details.  If you do need to make any changes, please send to our dedicated email address for this purpose enquires@hindley.outwood.com.  We will always endeavour to minimise disruption as much as possible.

We understand that there will be concerns about the disruption but we want to give you this advance notice and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding at this time.

Yours faithfully
 
J Norman 
Principal
