Teachers strikes: What is happening at The Regis School?
Strike Action Wednesday 5th and Friday 7th July 2023
As you may be aware, the membership of the National Education Union (NEU) has voted to take industrial action in schools across the country. The latest two planned strike days are due to take place on Wednesday 5th and Friday 7th July. The industrial action is a result of a national dispute between the NEU and the government and is not specific to our school nor to United Learning. The overwhelming majority of schools locally and nationally will be impacted but each school will have different arrangements for pupils due to the number of members of its staff who are likely to strike. We have been working closely with colleagues here to plan for the strikes so we can minimise any disruption to our pupils’ education. Our current understanding is that a significant number of colleagues will be taking industrial action and we are thus planning for this accordingly.

On both days, the school will be open to all Year 7, all Year 10, and all Year 12 students.
The school will also be open to all students on programmes at R2E and/or those with an EHCP.
When students are working from home they should access learning remotely, following TRS ‘Continuity of Learning’ (The Regis School website – curriculum - continuity of learning). Students are expected to follow their regular timetabled lessons; if this is not possible (eg: for a practical subject such as core PE) they should select an additional subject from the continuity of learning or work on SPARX and/or OAK National Academy.
The school canteen will be open as usual to students in school. Food parcels will be made available for all free-school meal students from the school reception between 11.00 am - 1.00 pm.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes you, but we are doing everything we can to minimise the disruption to students learning. It is unlikely that the industrial action will be called off, but if this were to happen, we will write to you to confirm that the school will be fully open.
