The SSTA and NASUWT teaching unions have called a day of strike action in pursuit of their national pay claim, on 8 December 2022. This is likely to reduce the number of headteachers, depute headteachers, principal teachers, and classroom teachers available to work on the day.
Given the high level of uncertainty around the number of teaching staff who will be available to teach classes, we have taken the decision to close city secondary schools to pupils in S1-S4 on 8 December.
Schools have written to parents and carers to inform them about arrangements.
