• Industrial Action

  Wed 21 Jun 2023

  As you will no doubt have heard, the National Education Union has announced two days of strike action on Wednesday 5^th and Friday 7^th July.  As the situation currently stands, this will mean school will be closed for these two days – if the situation changes, I will let you know as soon as possible.

   

  Wednesday 5^th July is currently set to be the Transition Day in Birmingham when all current Year 6 pupils go to their new secondary schools for the day, and children at Forestdale meet their new teachers.  In light of the announced strike, and with being aware that previous strikes affected a large percentage of schools in Birmingham, council officers have decided to change the date of transition day to Wednesday 12^th July 2023.

   

  We understand that some secondary schools have planned additional transition days and we are awaiting confirmation from them as to whether these will remain the same – they may contact you directly.

   

  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me at the gate.
