Cumbernauld Academy

 

Due to current Covid restrictions and the ongoing monitoring of pupil traffic within the school it is important that pupils follow the times given in the table below when accessing their lockers. As with entry and exit from class the times are staggered by five minutes to allow pupils to deposit/collect from their locker before exiting the corridors and stairwells prior to the next bell sounding for the following year groups.

In summary pupils will have an additional 5 minutes when leaving class to access their lockers. They should not return to their locker until the next 5-minute window is available.

This will help to ensure that health and safety in the corridors is maintained and that year group bubble groups remain intact.

 

Cumbernauld Academy are committed to ensuring all pupils are achieving their full potential and are provided with opportunities for success regardless of their financial background.

We understand the challenges that may affect our pupils from low-income households and strive to address inequity whilst ensuring dignity.

We aim to tackle any barriers to learning or participating in extracurricular activities associated with child poverty and are fully committed to poverty proofing our school.

Dear Parent/Carer,

With the rising number of young people in the community testing positive for Covid, and also those having to take PCR tests or having to self-isolate, there has been an increasing demand for ‘work’ from parents for their children who may be required to isolate at home but are well enough to continue to learn. Following discussions with staff in school, teachers will upload the relevant class materials as soon as they have time. How this will be done will vary across the school as clearly it is more challenging for young people to engage in certain activities, such as practical work, from home.

I know that these remain challenging times for all young people and parents but wish to assure you that the staff at Cumbernauld Academy will continue to do all we can to support every young person regardless of circumstances.

Thank you for your continued support

Mark Cairns

Could all pupils who are no longer studying Art & Design in S3/4/5 please return the Art Packs that were issued to them during last session.

We are aware that a lot of these will have been used with varying frequency, but returning them will allow us to ensure that our new S1 students can be given similar opportunities moving forward.

The Art Packs can be returned to any teacher in Art & Design.
