Cumbernauld Academy

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

We are excited for the launch of our Pupil Parliament for the 2nd Year.  For more information, please review the attached Presentation.

Pupil Parliament – Year 2

The Annual General Meeting of the Parent Council will take place on Wednesday, 22nd September 2021 at 6.45.  The meeting is open to all Parents and Carers at Cumbernauld Academy and will take place digitally on Webex (see below).

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.

As part of the ongoing evaluation on the design of Cumbernauld Academy, NLC would like to invite all stakeholders to take part in a survey on the design of the building post occupancy.  The survey is open to parents/carers, community users and any pupil who wishes to pass on their comments.  The survey will close on 17th September 2021. The link to the Survey is below:

Dear Parent/Carer,

I hope that you are well and that you managed to have a nice summer break.

I am writing to inform you that in the short term I have been asked to provide additional leadership support to another Secondary school in the Local Authority.  Please be assured that I will continue in my position as Head Teacher of Cumbernauld Academy, ably supported by my leadership team, but will be splitting my time between both establishments.  I will continue to link with my leadership team and will be available to support, as necessary.

I appreciate your understanding and support.

Kind regards

Mark
