[Stronsaylimpet] Teacher's strikes

[Limpet editor]

/From OIC Updates:/
Teaching unions are planning further industrial action on 7 December 
which is expected to impact Orkney schools.
These are:
• Wednesday 7 December
• Tuesday 10 January  (primary schools and nurseries)
• Wednesday 11 January (secondary and junior high schools)
• Wednesday 18 January (all schools)
Whilst it is believed the January dates will result in a similar pattern 
of closures as last week - with almost all schools and  many nurseries 
closed - the impact next week is expected to be more restricted, 
impacting mainly on the senior secondary schools, some of the secondary 
classes at Stronsay Junior High School and just one class at Papdale. It 
is possible that in some primary schools, individual classes or groups 
of classes will be at home, while other children and young people are 
able to attend as normal.
On that basis, parents will be contacted directly by schools to inform 
them of their individual arrangements.
For isles students, the Papdale Halls of Residence will remain open. For 
students at KGS or Stromness Academy, who would be expecting to attend 
Orkney College, the college will be open but there will be no school 
transport.
National negotiations involving COSLA, Scottish Government and Trade 
Unions are continuing, and updates with any further information will be 
shared as soon as possible.
