S3 will begin online learning from home due to high levels of staff absence at Greenwood Academy from Friday the 10th of December.  All other year groups should attend school as normal.  This arrangement will be reviewed on a daily basis and communicated to parents.

The Ayrshire Hearing Impairment Service, which supports deaf pupils across Ayrshire, will soon launch its own YouTube channel, ‘AHIS: Learn BSL’. Our BSL tutor, Kat Bennett, has made some Christmas videos. With one video, you can learn some BSL signs for Christmas and with the other video, you can learn Jingle Bells in BSL! We hope these can be shared and enjoyed.
