Dear Parents,
You may have heard in the news that the two largest teaching unions, the NASUWT and NUT are calling on its members to strike on October 17th. Some of our teachers at Cabot or members of those unions. It is likely that if the proposed action goes ahead there will be a consequence for Cabot. It is not possible to just replace striking teachers with supply teachers. However, senior leaders is the school can cover classes. We will make every attempt to stay open but it is very likely we may have to close the school to some year groups. As our oldest children have their end of Primary School SATs coming up in May we will make sure we stay open for them. WE WILL BE OPEN FOR YEAR 6 PUPILS. If their lessons cannot be covered by their regular teachers than a member of the senior leadership team will take the lessons.
I hope you understand our reasons for prioritising Year 6. I am consulting with staff next Tuesday and I will update you with more information next Wednesday.
Best Wishes
Mr Burton
