Interruption of services due to strike action

Due to Strike Action called by the Unite Union, our school will be unable to operate as normal on 20th, 21st, 22nd May and 3rd & 4th June. There will be limited support staff available in school.  Striking staff includes Classroom Assistants, Supervisory Staff, Caretaker, School Crossing Patrol and office staff who are in the UNITE Union.  

• School will be OPEN for children as Teachers will be in school. Children in P1 & P2 must be collected promptly at 1.45pm and children in P3-P7 should be collected promptly/go home at 3pm.

The following services are cancelled due to lack of personnel

• No early bird breakfast club
• No 1-1 support or withdrawal groups
• No crossing patrol
• No office staff
• No WhatsApp, Messenger or Facebook available
• No Afterschool clubs

Please contact the school landline ONLY in the event of an emergency 02890323683 as the office will be closed.

This is NOT Industrial Action against the school. It is a protest against substantial cuts to the education budget across The North of Ireland. Our children and staff deserve better.

We would appreciate your support & cooperation at this time. 

This action is a last resort. No member of our staff takes strike action lightly. Apologies for any inconvenience. We will update you if any changes arise. 

Yours Faithfully

Miss Weir
