The First Minister announced on Saturday 19th January that schools in Scotland would not return until the 11th January and that, at least until the 18th, learning would be remote. Staff will be in school from January 5th with Key Worker and vulnerable children in from 6th January.  Families looking to access Key Worker childcare must complete the form as detailed on the attached letter.

We are well prepared for this and will make sure everyone has all they need for home learning, both digitally and by providing packs with jotters, some worksheets and pencils, We will have these available  to be collected from before 11th January and further details will follow once staff are back in school.

The following letter from the Director of Education provides details further information.
