Thank you to all parents, carers, pupils and staff for your understanding regarding today’s partial closure for year groups S1 – S3.

Unfortunately, the operational issues with the fire alarm panel require further repair work. This means that the partial closure for year groups S1 – S3 is still in place and S1 – S3 should not attend tomorrow, Tuesday 21st May 2024.

SQA examinations will continue as normal. Immersion morning for Chemistry N5 pupils will also take place as planned – 8.45 am – 12.20 pm. (N5 Woodwork immersion morning is cancelled).

Only pupils who have SQA examinations or pupils who are attending the Chemistry National 5 immersion morning should attend school tomorrow, Tuesday 21st May for the appropriate examination/ immersion time.

School transport will run at usual times for pupils sitting SQA examinations/ attending the National 5 Chemistry immersion morning.

Pupils wishing to use school transport to travel to and from exams – please note transport times remain as normal.

Pupils sitting National 5 History in the afternoon can travel in on school transport in the morning at usual pick up time and will be supported to study in school during the morning if required. Please call the school and let us know if your History candidate requires this morning study support.

The school will be closed to all other pupils, including all S1 – S3 pupils.

Catering service – there will be a sandwich style food available for pupils who are entitled to a free school meal. Young people/ parents/ carers in this situation can collect meals between 11 am and 12 noon on Tuesday 21st May. Please go to the school office first and you will be directed to the collection area.

Dear Parents/ Carers,

Partial Closure Stewarton Academy

Due to operational issues with the automatic elements of the fire alarm panel at Stewarton Academy, we have taken the difficult decision to partially close the school to S1 to S3 pupils today, 20^th May 2024 at 11:15 am.

SQA exams will go ahead as planned. Pupils sitting SQA exams today should attend as normal.

Should you have any issues with your child leaving the school at this time, please contact the school immediately on 01560 482 342.

Any pupils not able to be collected or return home themselves, will be supervised by staff until they are able to be collected/ arrangements put in place for them to return home.

If you child normally uses school transport, this is currently being arranged for 11.15am at the school.

We will provide further update to parents/carers later today in relation to plans for tomorrow. Please check the school App and website for further information.

Thank you for your understanding and we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.

Our apologies for the technical failures that prevented the video link working properly for the S2-S3 options information evening on Wednesday 18^th January 2023.  I have now delivered presentations to all S2 pupils present today to go through the options choice process, to outline supports and to answer questions.  The presentation, options form and subject information booklet have all been uploaded to the S2 Teams page, and will also be shared using the school app.    The presentation has also been uploaded to the school website (below).

The options form is completed on-line and I have attached the link to this post.
