Happy New Year to you all

As pupils return to school today we are delighted to see them back and ready to learn.  For pupils who remain in isolation and are having to learn from home all work is online through Glow.  Where teachers can they are putting work into Teams and other work is available through the National e-learning offer and the West OS. https://www.westpartnership.co.uk/west-os/senior-phase-resources/  and   https://education.gov.scot/nelo/

Prelim Assessments 

As you know Prelim Assessments will take place from the 12-26 January. Please let the school know if your child cannot attend due to being in isolation and alternative arrangements will be made for them to sit their prelim assessment at another time.

Lateral Flow Testing

Everyone attending the school building, pupils and staff are asked to take daily lateral flow tests. Testing kits are available online and through the school office.

Curriculum Consultation and Learner Pathway Option Choices for S2-S5

As we work together to ensure that Sanquhar Academy offers the best range of curricular options for out learners we are hosting an online consultation event for parents and carers.  We will be sending details to all parents over the next few weeks to join the event on V-Scene.  We will be considering the totality of the curriculum from S1 into S6, times of the school day and Learner Pathways. The event will take place on Monday the 24th of January 2022, 7-8pm. Current P6 and P7 parents are also welcome to join.

Further online information events will be held specifically for parents and carers of pupils entering the Senior Phase, S3 and S1.

Please continue to keep an eye out for updates available on the school blog.
