The closing date for all responses is 24th January 2022.

About the Survey

Do you have a child aged 5-16, or are you a young person aged 12-21? If so, please complete our short travel survey for a chance to win up to £250 in Love2Shop vouchers.

The Scottish Government will soon be launching the Free Bus Travel Scheme for young people between the ages of 5 and 21. This aims to encourage greener travel patterns, and increase opportunities for young people to engage in employment, education and social activities and not be excluded due to travel costs. Transport Scotland will monitor the scheme as it progresses to check on use and impact. The first step is to try and understand current travel patterns so that any changes after the scheme is introduced can be identified.

We would be grateful if parents/carers of younger children (i.e. those aged 5-16), or young people aged 12-21 themselves, could complete this short travel survey. The questionnaire asks about current travel behaviour, and your thoughts about bus travel generally and the free bus travel. This should take no more than 10 minutes to do.

Contact Us: If you have any questions about the work or problems completing the questionnaire, please contact our Project Manager, Elaine Wilson-Smith, at elaine@wellsideresearch.co.uk or on 0131 677 5522.

Hello,

A massive thank you to everyone in the school community who donated to our appeal for items for the local food bank.  Well done to our S6 pupils who collected all the items this morning and thanks to Action for Children for collecting our donation.  I am sure that the donations you have all made will be welcomed by local families this Christmas 

Hello,

 

Just a quick reminder that it is Wear Something Christmassy Day tomorrow the 10th of December.  As part of our Non-Uniform Day we are making donations to the local food bank. We are asking that pupils and staff bring in a food item such as tinned food (beans, veg, soup) , pasta, biscuits, or any other food donations. Pupils should drop off their donation at the stations as they enter the school tomorrow.

S6 pupils will also be selling the stock they have left from the local Christmas light switch on which includes hot chocolate cones and cards.
