Dear Parent/Carer
Following my letter of 7th March, I am writing to draw your attention to the bus strike announced by National Express West Midlands. This strike is scheduled for Thursday 16th March and coincides with industrial action taking place at Bishop Challoner on the same day.
Further details relating to the planned bus strike can be found at:

Our arrangements for opening the school on Thursday 16th March have not changed since my letter of 7th March, and are detailed below:

For those students that are required to attend school on this day, we understand that the planned bus strike will present challenges in getting into school. We ask that you bear this in mind when planning your child’s journey.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully,
Dr J Coughlan
