Revised Prelim Dates

Dear Parent/Carer
Please note that, due to the industrial action as previously outlined, the prelim exams set for Wednesday 7 December must unfortunately be re-arranged. Please see the revised dates attached.
All other prelims will take place within the normal December diet. Apologies for this unavoidable amendment to the prelim programme.
Parents of SLC pupils, please also note that our Secondary SLC will be closed on Wednesday 7 December in line with the rest of the Robert Burns Academy.

S4-6 Prelims

The prelim exam timetable was released today on Satchel One and Subject Teams, paper copies were issued to S4. Pupils in S5/6 can collect paper copies tomorrow at assembly if required.

Pupils requiring Alternative Assessment Arrangements such as extra time, adapted papers etc will receive individual timetables over the next few days as the start and finish times will be different from the timetables issued today.  The dates will not change.

Pupils are expected to attend all classes during the prelim diet, unless they have an exam.  Pupils will be allowed to study for any exam during their normal timetabled classes.

Thank you to all of the amazing staff and pupils in the Supported Learning Centre for organising and taking part in the fundraising efforts om 14th October. As well as wearing blue in support of Mary’s Meals, our secondary pupils completed a sponsored walk to Dumfries House estate and our primary pupils had a porridge party and a walk around the campus with their teddy bears.
Together we raised £561 for the children of Jebbeh Kiazolu school, and we are still collecting. What an amazing achievement!
