School Improvement Plan 2024 2025

Following the announcement of the red weather warning, covering East Renfrewshire, the Council has taken the decision to close all schools and early learning and childcare settings on Friday 24th January.
This is a difficult decision and we understand the impact that this will have on parents and carers, however, in light of the significant warnings, the safety of children, young people and staff is paramount.

Arrangements are being made to ensure some learning provision is available remotely for pupils, either through online means or through the provision of work at the end of today.

For those pupils in receipt of free school meals, an additional payment will be made in advance of the half-term break in February.
Any further updates on the disruption will be communicated as required.

Additional notes for Eastwood:

• S5/S6 prelims due to take place on Fri 24th January (Higher & Advanced Chemistry, Higher Politics, Higher Photography and National 5 Practical Cookery written paper) will all take place at the same times but on Friday 31st January. For a very small number of pupils this will clash with Higher Art & Design. Please do not worry about this. Come and speak to Mrs Boulton-Jones on Monday 27th January and we will work around this.
• S4/S5/S6 pupils will be able to use this time to study for their prelims and/or SQA exams.
• S4 Work Experience pupils should not attend their placement as you are travelling from East Renfrewshire and we are saying to stay at home. Whilst this may be disappointing to you, it is important that we keep you safe and follow advice. You can also use this time to complete your logbook/paperwork for work experience. Missing one day will not affect your accreditation.

Thank you for your patience with this. Stay at home and stay safe.

Kind regards
Kate Sinclair
Head Teacher
