Cumbernauld Academy

Scotland’s qualifications (including exams & the ways young people are assessed) are under review! Connect and NPFS are working together to hear the views of a wide range of parents and carers

A short survey on the draft ‘vision & principles’ for the review: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/YFSK9NW

Sign up for more info here https://mailchi.mp/connect.scot/z7v7b34ii8

There’s also a closed FaceBook group for parents and carers to discuss the review – Reforming Scottish Qualifications: The Hayward Review https://www.facebook.com/groups/3548602345460604

We politely ask all parents / carers / patrons to please be mindful when parking their car at the end of the school day. We have pupils who require contract transport in the form of a taxi that have unfortunately not been able to utilise an appropriate parking space in recent days. If you could please refrain from using the LCSC car parking (directly in front of the school) and the drop off / pick up point with the yellow demarcation (adjacent to the pitch) we hope this issue can be alleviated. Both areas are identified below in red.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
