As indicated already, although the Scottish Government have taken the decision to close all schools to young people from 5pm Friday 20th March 2020, there will be special provision made for pupils in one of 3 critical groups:
1. Children of Key Workers
2. Educational Continuity (SQA requirements)
3. Vulnerable Young People .
We will identify and contact pupils in Groups 2 and 3 directly.
The questionnaire issued earlier this week has given us a good picture of the number of parents who could be in the Key Worker category (Group 1 above) .
We are now asking for those parents to identify the specific requirements for in-school educational provision which will allow them to continue to perform their key duties. Please enter your details on the form using the link below to indicate the support required.
Note that if one parent is a non-Key Worker, the Government expect them to provide the childcare to minimise the number of pupils in school. However we realise that the picture could be more complicated and we will work to support any parent in this category to continue to perform the good work they are already doing.
Parents who do not fall into the Key Worker category do not require to respond.
Thanks
Mr S
