• Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th March 2023 – Birches Head Academy, Ellesmere Port Church of England College and Handforth Grange Primary School

We have been informed by the NEU the number of Teachers who maybe striking on these days across our Trust.

Following on from our experience of the last Strike Day we now intend to keep our schools’ partially open as follows:

• BIRCHES HEAD ACADEMY– closed for all pupils in Y8,9 and 10, but open to all Year 7 and 11..

If there are any changes to these intended strike days’ I will notify you immediately.
