Summer uniform swap

☀️ SPRING/SUMMER uniform swap☀️

The PA are going to pull out our clothing rail ready to hang pre-loved summer school uniform to share and swap. A great way to re-use uniform that no longer fits, and to get summer items for free that are often only worn for a short time.

We would love any donations of clean items in good condition from the list below to add to our rail.

☀️ Summer school dresses

☀️ Short sleeve polo shirts (with or without school logo)

☀️ School grey shorts or skirts

☀️ Cotton cardigans / jumpers

☀️ School blazers

The donations box will be in the foyer at the main entrance from today, and the rail available, same place, from tomorrow.

Thank you for helping us to reduce, re-use and recycle.

Covid-19, Parent Information

Schools update – January 2021

Schools update – January 2021

Please find attached a letter from the Director of Education with information about the return to school for pupils in January.

Director of Education 22nd Dec update

On Thursday 7 and Friday 8 January we will be open to offer childcare to the children of keyworkers only.

Keyworker Clarification

Where a parent is able to work from home then they should do so and support their child’s learning. Parents and carers should be aware that other family members, such as grandparents can provide childcare. 

Keyworkers: 

  •  Health and Care workers directly supporting COVID response, and associated staff; Health and Care workers supporting life threatening emergency work, as well as critical primary and community care provision; Energy suppliers (small numbers identified as top priority already); staff providing childcare/learning. 
  • All other Health and Care workers, and wider public sector workers providing emergency/critical welfare services (for example: fire, police, prisons, social workers), as well as those supporting our Critical National Infrastructure, without whom serious damage to the welfare of the people of Scotland could be caused. 
  • All workers (private, public or third sector) without whom there could be a significant impact on Scotland (but where the response to COVID-19, or the ability to perform essential tasks to keep the country running, would not be severely compromised). 

These are the Scottish Government definitions issued in March 2020. 

All other children will effectively have an extended holiday until 11 January 2021.  Please note that where a parent is able to work from home then they should do so and support their child’s learning.  Parents and carers should also be aware that other family members, such as grandparents can provide childcare.

From Monday 11th January, learning will be online for pupils. Further information about this will be provided when we return to school.

We sincerely hope that these measures are going to be short term in an effort to reduce the transmission of the virus and keep everyone safe. I thank you again for your patience and understanding during these difficult times.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday.

Take care and stay safe,

Colette Haddock

Water in the lunch hall

Pupil Voice Information – important message for parents and pupils

From Monday 27th January , there won’t be any plastic cups in the lunch hall for water. This is to reduce our use of single use plastic.

If pupils want water at lunch time, they will need to bring their water bottles. Every class will have a box to put their water bottles in after lunch.

Please help us make this possible by making sure that your child brings a water bottle to school every day, labelled with their name and class.

This is a really big step towards our campaign to reduce single use plastic. Next we will tackling the use of milk cartons!

Many thanks from Pupil Voice Committee
