Poole Schools Affected By Planned Strike On Thursday

The Borough of Poole is working with the Borough's schools to ensure minimum disruption will occur to children and parents during Thursday's national teachers' strike.

Stuart Twiss of Strategy, Quality & Improvement said: "Any need for strike action is disappointing, however the final decision on any closure rests with the individual schools and we are liaising closely with them to ensure the school day runs as normally as possible".

Schools should be informing parents direct if headteachers and governors decide to close or partially close for the day on Thursday.

The following schools have confirmed to the Council their intent to close all or some of their classes:

• Ashdown Technology College (Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 only)
• Baden Powell & St Peter's CE VC Middle School
• Branksome Heath Middle School
• Canford Heath Middle School
• Carter Community Sports College
• Corfe Hills School (Year 9 only)
• Longfleet CE VC Combined School (Years 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 only)
• Longspee School (Years 7, 8, and 9 only)
• Hillbourne School (Year 1 'Dolphins' Class only)
• Oakdale South Road Middle School (3 classes only)
• Poole High School (Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 only)
• St Edward's RC CE VA School (Partial closure across some year groups)
• St Joseph's RC VA Combined School
• Sylvan First School
• Talbot Combined School
• Turlin Moor Community Middle School
• St Mary's Catholic Combined School

If you have not been contacted by any school on this list you may need to do so to confirm arrangements.
