Pupil support, information and resources
The pupil support team have put together a wealth of information and resources to help both pupils and parents in the current situation. Please click below to view
Helping your child to feel ‘Nurtured’
Being nurtured means that we feel cared for and important, and that our environment provides us opportunities and room to grow and develop. While routine and structure are always helpful, flexibility, creativity and tolerance are even more important right now, given our current circumstances.

Supporting children during unsettled times
Dear Parents /Carers
Following advice from the Scottish Government to close educational establishment today, we fully recognise that from today children and young people may be at home for a long period of time and we have produced a suite of materials to support their learning – further information about materials will be sent to you in due course.
Understandably, this is an unsettling time for children, young people and their carers and many people will be feeling anxious about the current situation and the impact that it may have on the health and wellbeing of family, friends and colleagues.
For this reason we have also included information to help you reassure your child. Many of these resources have been developed in collaboration with South Lanarkshire Council. The attached document provides some advice and guidance.
We will continue to up-date this resource and ensure that it is widely available online. You will be notified of these updates next week.
Thank you for your on-going support during these challenging times.
Regards
Derek Brown
Executive Director
