Changes to pupil access to building at break and lunch from Monday 24 April (Mr McKay)
Given the improving weather, SQA examinations taking place across the school and continued issues with litter and food waste discarded in the school building, we are asking all young people to remain outdoors during break and lunch.

In the event of poor weather, pupils will be alerted and directed to areas within school for these times.

Young people can continue to access the dining hall from the school building at the beginning of break and lunch, following queue systems as normal. No young person will be allowed back into the school building via the dining hall once entered. Instead, they will be asked to leave via the bottom door of the dining hall to outside the main entrance of the school.

Any young person who attends a club, accesses support at these times or requires to be in the building at break and lunch must have a pass / note from the relevant teacher, Guidance Teacher or PSO.

A reminder that all Young People should access the toilets outside the War Memorial / guidance corridor at the back of the main building.
