Schools closed 28 Feb - 1 March 2023

The Highland Council is aware of recent developments at a national level for the upcoming strike action by some teaching unions. However, we continue to anticipate significantly reduced numbers of both management and teaching staffing in schools and early learning and childcare settings, therefore the decision to close all educational establishments to pupils remains.

All schools and ELC settings on Tuesday 28 February 2023 and Wednesday 1 March 2023 will be closed to pupils across Highland on these dates.

A BACS payment will be made for those children and young people entitled to a free school meal based on low income (not universal entitlement).

If there are any further developments at a national level, and if strike action is averted in schools, this will be notified through the council website www.highland.gov.uk and through our social media, as well as usual school communication channels.
