Dear Parents/Carers,

From today, we will start to email parents/carers and pupils scheduled to attend school next week. As our capacity is restricted to 52 pupils per day, it may be the case that your son/daughter is not in school next week even if studying the subjects we can offer from Monday. Please know that over the course of the three school weeks from Monday until Friday 12th March, we are aiming to offer all pupils studying those courses equal time in school.

Pupils require access to complete assessable practical elements of SQA courses. The email will provide more detail, but anyone electing not to take a place is asked to notify us as soon as possible and should consider the potential consequence of not completing assessable SQA tasks. These tasks cannot be undertaken at home as the requirements of SQA assessment mean that a teacher must be present.

If your son/daughter is studying one of the following courses and you do not receive an email by Friday, you will receive a message next week about attendance during the week beginning Monday 29th. We aim to issue emails in advance of that week on Thursday 25th February.

• Art and Design
• Music
• Music Technology
• Computing Science
• Design and Manufacture
• Creative Industries
• Practical Woodworking
• Graphic Communication
• NPA Digital Media

Kind Regards

Mr Kane
