Scottish Government Update

Dear Parent/Carer

As you may now be aware the Scottish Government has updated the guidance for schools today and it has been published on their website.

The Scottish Government has announced that from Monday November 2 all S4-S6 pupils in North Lanarkshire are required to wear face coverings in classrooms as well as in corridors and communal areas. Please ensure your child has a face covering when coming to school and please discuss with them that these must now be worn in classes. Your co-operation with this latest Scottish Government guidance for schools is appreciated. Young people have been very supportive to date.

North Lanarkshire Corporate Communications will also be issuing their own communication via the usual social media channels over the weekend.

Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding the new guidance.

Thank you again for everything you are doing to support the school during the current situation.

Kindest regards

Robert Smith

NLC Update 23/06/20

Dear Parents and Carers
Please see following message from Mr Gerard McLaughlin, Head of Education, North Lanarkshire Council.

Today’s announcement from the Scottish Government outlines the plan to reopen all schools on a full time basis from August.

We are currently considering the practicalities and implications of this announcement and will await further clarification and guidance from government, particularly in relation to public health and scientific advice.

Our priority is the safety of our pupils and staff across our network of primary, secondary and ASN schools, as well as our early learning and childcare settings.

We understand that you will have questions, and as this news was only announced today, we will make further information available on how this impacts on our schools and facilities in the coming days.

We are preparing for pupils to return full-time to school on 12 August and we will be working closely with our schools and partners, including our early years and childcare provision to establish our plans, which we will communicate as soon as we are in a position to.

Head of Education (North)
