Parents told they may get a text after 9am on school strike day asking them to collect their child

Angry parents have criticised their son’s school over its planning for the teachers' strike next week. Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Ogwr in Bridgend said in a letter to parents that it intends to stay open on February 1, but that may change at the very last minute.

Headteacher Jayne Dart has warned in a letter to parents that the school may text them after 9am asking them to come back to pick up their children after all. The parents of a five year old pupil at the school, said it was unreasonable to expect parents to send their children in at all on strike day with such uncertainty.

The parents, who did not want to be identified because they are key workers, said they were angry at what they see as the blunt tone of the letter. It says plans to open could change at the last minute on the morning of the strike.
