As you are aware, the current funding crisis in Education is reaching critical point. You received a letter two weeks ago informing you of the real issues that schools are facing. This letter was sent out to the parents of every Primary School child in the area.
The situation is very bleak for all schools. Our school is no exception. Over the next couple of years, cuts are inevitable. We will, of course, try to manage the situation as best we can to ensure we continue to provide your children with the best possible Education.
The local Principals’ Association have now decided to launch a petition which we would ask that you sign. This petition will be presented by Mr John Boyle, Mayor of Derry & Strabane District Council, to Mr Derek Baker, Permanent Secretary for Education and the Right Honourable Karen Bradley MP, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The petition calls for ‘appropriate’ funding to be restored immediately.
The petition will go live on Thursday morning and will close next Thursday, 22nd November.
On behalf of the school, we thank you for your support in our attempts to resolve this crucial matter which has the potential to impact your child.
