At least three Burntwood schools face partial closure due to strike action – while others admit they may also be unable to open.
Highfields Primary School, Hollygrove Primary and Ridgeway Primary School have all confirmed that some children should not attend on June 30 due to action by the NUT and ATL teaching unions.
Parents of children at these schools have or will be informed of the affected classes by letter.
Only Boney Hay Primary, Fulfen Primary and St Joseph And St Theresa Catholic Primary were able to confirm that they will open as usual.
Details for all of Burntwood’s schools are:
- Boney Hay Primary: Not affected
