Message regarding strike action

Dear Parents/Guardians

A number of our Support Staff, belonging to the Unite Union will be participating in strike action during the week beginning Monday 21st March. This includes a significant number of classroom assistants, all administrative and caretaking staff, as well as some cleaning and catering staff.

These are all wonderful, hardworking people, and we in St. Joseph’s understand why this Industrial Action is taking place.

The management of the school will have a contingency plan in place and all children should attend school as normal.

The school Whatsapp and Facebook accounts will be offline during that week also. All enquiries should be made directly to the school by phone 02890323683.

We ask you to understand that it may not be possible to answer all phone calls immediately. Please be patient with us.

Sincerely

Miss M Weir (Principal)
