Dear Parents/Carers
A huge THANK YOU to all our pupils for their understanding, patience and cooperation over the first few days of term. We have been incredibly impressed by you!
We have been reflecting on our new procedures over the last few days and in general, thanks the cooperation of our pupils, they have been working well. As expected there are some areas which we will want to refine and improve.
LUNCH
From Monday 17th August, we will operate a split lunch system. There will be no change for pupils in S4 to S6.
For pupils in S1 – S3 lunch will now take place from 12:20pm with their period 5 class starting at 1:10pm. To accommodate the lunch provision for Annanhill and Park Schools, pre-ordered lunches will be available for collection from 12:40pm. This change is in response to our early experience of welcoming pupils back to school and mitigates against the risk of congestion within the school building during the lunch break.
This change applies on Mondays to Thursdays only. Lunch for all pupils will be at the normal time of 1:10pm on a Friday.
END OF DAY FRIDAY
In line with our arrangements for the early part of the week, we will also release BGE pupils (S1 – S3) five minutes early from their Period 5 class on a Friday. This will allow a staggered release from the building and mitigates against congestion on Beech Avenue at the end of the day.
Senior Phase pupils will be released at the normal time of 1:10pm and school transport will depart as normal at 1:50pm.
An updated overview of these changes is available by clicking on the image below.
We look forward to welcoming all of our pupils back to Grange Campus on Monday 17th August.
Yours sincerely
Robert Johnston
Head Teacher
