Excellence Day

When Bucks County Council was declared an Excellent Authority the Leader and Chief Executive announced an extra days leave for all employees.


A letter was sent, addressed to all employees, but was not issued to schools. Some schools were informed and Head Teachers made arrangements for their staff to have the extra day. Others did not know about it or were unable to make arrangements for this to happen. This led to a situation where staff across the Local Authority had been treated unequally. This was discussed by the Teacher Associations at school’s Joint Advisory Committee and Bucks Association of Headteachers.

The Chief Executive, Chris Williams, has written to all Head Teachers about this, extending the deadline to the end of the summer term 2008. Head Teachers have been asked to find a way to enable staff who were employed during the relevant period to take their extra day of holiday.

Your Head Teacher should be making arrangements for you to take this holiday if you have not already enjoyed it.
