We are looking forward to welcoming along to our online event this evening the parents/carers of our S3 pupils.  Due to the ongoing covid restrictions, we unfortunately cannot meet in person, and we are proposing that the meeting will now happen online via our “Parents Evening Booking + Video” meeting system.

This is the fifth online Parents Evening organised and will provide an opportunity to meet the majority of your child’s teachers providing beneficial information that will allow you to support your child with their education in S3 at Cumbernauld Academy.

With regards to preparing for the meeting, I have attached a link inviting S3 parents/carers along and detailing the timeline for booking and attending. Please click on the link below.

S5 Pupils interested in university

Nufield Research project

They take place over the summer after S5 and involve both online activities and two-weeks on-site research. Placements take place at a variety of locations including offices, museums, research centres, laboratories or fieldwork settings across the UK. Your on-site placement activity will not cost you or your parents/carers anything.
We reimburse travel costs for all students, and depending on your family circumstances, you may also be eligible to
receive a bursary. Nuffield Research placements are supervised but independent research projects relating to an area
of science, quantitative social science, computing, technology, engineering or maths (or a combination of these).

 

See the attached poster.
