We have sent out several emails this week in an attempt to provide you with as much information as possible. Normally it takes us about six weeks to construct a new timetable and we build this into our calendar each year. Last week we were very surprised by the announcement in the Scottish Parliament and had to respond quickly due to the timescale involved to make formal arrangements for the return of pupils to school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Due to 2m social distancing we can only have a limited number of pupils in the school at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b>S4, S5, S6<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">We have written a new Timetable for a Monday and Tuesday that only includes S4, S5 &amp; S6 pupils.

The days that these groups will be in school will be as follows:-<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"x_MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\">Group X \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wednesday 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March, Thursday 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March and Tuesday 30<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March<\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\">Group Y \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thursday 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March, Friday 26<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March, Wednesday 31<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0March<\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoListParagraphCxSpLast\">Group X \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Friday 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March, Wednesday 24<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March, Thursday 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0April<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">S1-S3 will follow their original timetable exactly as it is printed, this will ensure they will see nearly all of their teachers over the three days.\u00a0 We have printed a spare copy for each S1-S3 pupil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Until this morning we had not expected to be permitted to offer any form of practical PE, however the guidelines were changed today to allow for small groups to participate in PE activities outside. Having spoken with the PE department at length this afternoon we have decided that S1-S3 classes will greatly benefit from these guideline changes.\u00a0 So S1-S3 classes will be outside for PE, weather permitting, from Wednesday 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0March.\u00a0 As we are still not permitted to allow pupils to get changed for PE, Pupils in S1-S3 should come dressed for outdoor PE on the days that PE appears on their original timetable.\u00a0 On the other days they should be in school uniform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b>All pupils will return on the 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0April to a Blue week Timetable.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b>School Uniform<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">We are aware that pupils have perhaps outgrown school uniform during the lockdown and appreciate the limited time left in this session.

It is also estimated that 1\/3 of all infected people do not develop any symptoms are asymptomatic, but are still contagious and can pass on the virus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">We all have a responsibility to keep each other and our families safe, the best way to do this is to the follow the guidelines, wear an appropriate face covering, wash hands and maintain a 2m distance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Pupils will be outside when not in class as the chance of transmission is about 20 times less when outside in an open space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">As always if you have any concerns please contact the relevant Principal Teacher of Pupil Support in the first instance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">John Robertson<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Headteacher<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Calderhead High School<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arrangements from 15th\u00a0March to 1st\u00a0April 2021 We are looking forward to welcoming more pupils back to school next week.
