Prestatyn High School headteacher, Neil Foley, wrote in a letter addressed to parents and posted on the school’s website: “This decision has not been taken lightly and follows a thorough risk assessment of the situation.

“The school needs a certain number of staff to be present to function and keep everybody safe.

“Due to the nature of the industrial action, no online learning will take place on the day of the strike.”
