Tomorrow’s options information evening for the parents of pupils in S4 has been cancelled due to the weather conditions. We shall rearrange this event as quickly as possible and write to you in the next few days with the revised details.

Due to severe weather, school is closed for all pupils and staff on Thursday 1 March.

All S4/5/6 students studying for SQA exams can access some revision materials on the departmental pages on the school website or past papers on the SQA website.

Scottish Government advice for tomorrow is now confirmed as ‘do not travel’.  All schools will be closed tomorrow.
