Dear Parents

Please click the link below to view a letter from the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills. The Scottish Government are launching a consultation on the draft provisions in the Education (Scotland) Bill.

Please click here for letter

The Education Bill will include a number of provisions to ensure that decisions that shape the education of our young people will be made in classrooms, schools and establishments by people working directly with those young people, their parents and communities.

The consultation will seek views on detailed policy proposals for these issues and will run until 30 January 2018.  Responses will inform the drafting of the Education Bill which will be introduced to Parliament during the current parliamentary year.

ROAD SAFETY – S M A R T PARKER

Chilly weather on the way? Darker mornings and afternoons?Thinking of taking the car to or from school?

Safety Means Always Recognising The dangers!

If you are taking the car to school, please be a S M A R T PARKER!

Police Scotland said in a recent tweet, “In autumn and during the winter months, there are the additional risks associated with poor weather, which adversely affect visibility for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike.

If you have to drive your child to and/or from school or nursery, make sure that you park legally, safely and responsibly and well away from the main entrance. Please always consider all other road users, especially children who are walking or cycling to and from school or nursery.  Always look out for them.”
