Denbighshire County Council issues Statement on Proposed School Strikes

denbighshire council

Denbighshire County Council are reminding parents and carers that we have been notified that national strike action by members of the National Education Union (NEU) is planned to take place on Wednesday 1st February and 14th February 2023 which may impact on the operation of schools within the County. Additional days are also planned on the 15th and 16th March 2023.

This is anticipated to result in a significant reduction in staffing levels within schools and will affect all areas of Wales.

All schools are currently assessing whether they can remain open or partially open on these days and if not whether the sites will need to be closed to learners on these days.

Schools will communicate directly with parents and carers regarding individual decisions and information.

In addition, the National Association of Headteachers have notified Denbighshire that their members will commence action short of strike action as of the 1st February 2023.

Alternative arrangements may need to be put in place during these days should your school close or partially close.
