Last updated 1st Sep 2022
All Dundee City Council nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools will be closed to all pupils for three days next week due to industrial action.
The closures on Wednesday September 7, Thursday September 8 and Friday September 9 will also involve Kingspark School and the Rockwell Learning Centre.
Industrial action is being taken by support staff as national pay negotiations continue.
Dundee City Council said it would not be possible to safely open nurseries and schools without these staff.
Teachers will continue to work and online learning will be provided for pupils, while paper learning packs will be made available if needed.
Families will be contacted directly by their school about home learning.
Arrangements are being made for free school meal payments to be made directly to qualifying households.
Direct support will continue for pupils who have been identified by Children and Families staff as vulnerable.
All establishments will reopen on Monday September 12.
Information for families is available on the council’s website and updates will also be posted on its social media channels.
