From the GFG to Primary 7
Message for our wonderful P7s and families from the GFG…
We know that the whole year has been a build up to your transition to secondary school. We know that you are emotional about moving on, excited and had dreams and plans of how these remaining months would go.
We also know, as a massive part of the Gargieston Community, these young people are upset and emotional about what their remaining months will be like in primary.
While this will bring disappointment – the whole GFG committee give you our absolute promise you will not miss out.
After communication with senior staff and class teachers, we would rather you have your party, tie ceremony and proper leavers’ arch the Gargieston way: together, in magnificent fashion and not a rushed make do.
We are hoping and praying that we will be back to normal before the summer, but if not you have to trust us to deliver our promise – in the summer, or a later date, in school or in the community. You WILL have these things; you WILL experience leaving primary school in a wonderfully positive and emotional way.
We WILL order ties and we WILL make sure you get them all.
We hope you can trust we will deliver this to you. We were guided and supported by the school senior staff in this message.
Keep well, have fun and we WILL give you the best leavers 2020 events when we can and when we can all do you justice.
Stay well, stay safe, keep your amazing community spirit and we WILL honour your young people, their achievements and transition.
Much love,the GFG x
School Closure
Following communication from our Head of Service to parents yesterday regarding school closures, we have had a large number of enquiries from parents regarding the definition of the term ‘key worker’ and what the provision will be for these children. This is currently under discussion at Corporate level and we will communicate the information with you as soon as we have it.
May I remind you that the service we provide will not be a continuation of normal educational provision. It has been made clear by Scottish Government and East Ayrshire Council that schools will only offer emergency and essential provision.
Scottish Government Announcement – School Closures
I am aware that many of you will have heard the First Ministers announcement earlier today and subsequent news reports regarding school closures.
We are awaiting further guidance from East Ayrshire Council regarding how this announcement will impact on us at Gargieston. We will be in contact with all parents regarding any planned closures and plans for home learning as soon as possible.
We appreciate you patience and support in the meantime.
