From the 15th to 17th of March 2023, there will be industrial action affecting some schools in our community. It is important to note that while many schools will not be fully closed due to the strike, they will remain partially open for some year groups.

To avoid confusion and difficulty for schools and parents, it is essential that we provide accurate and clear information about the schools affected by the industrial action.

Schools are making it clear whether they will be fully closed or partially open for specific year groups. This information can be found on the council’s School Closure notification system at https://cumbria.gov.uk/. It is important to check this system to see if your child’s school is affected by the strike and what arrangements are in place.
