Members of Unite, GMB and UNISON will be taking strike action on Wednesday 20th August, 2008.  Staff groups which may be involved include Janitors, Cleaners, Kitchen Staff, Pupil Support Assistants and Office Staff.

The particular circumstances relating to Culter School are that there will be no staff working in the office, kitchen or cleaning the school.  Most Pupil Support Staff will not be in school. 

Consequently I regret to inform you that the school will be closed to all pupils tomorrow (Wednesday).

I am aware of the disruption and inconvenience this action will cause to families however it is not possible to operate safely with the number of support staff who will be in school on Wednesday and therefore I have no alternative but to close the school.

I look forward to welcoming the children back on Thursday at 9.00am as usual.
