NLC Key Worker Categories

KEY WORKERS

It is essential, to stop the spread of transmission of coronavirus, that people who can work from home do work from home.

This is not business as usual and it is vital that this support being offered is only accessed by those who absolutely require it to enable NHS and other critical services to function.

If you’re a key worker who requires support, please take your child to your normal school on Monday. We will review these arrangements over the coming week and it is likely we will fully close some schools but we will inform you of this and the alternative provision we will put in place.

Fairtrade Fun

The pupils have been learning lots about Fairtrade during “ Fairtrade Fortnight.” We looked at Fairtrade products and the journeys they might take . They also learned about the importance of Fairtrade for communities around the world.  The pupils followed recipes using Fairtrade produce. They made healthy cookies and banana bread. 

Scottish Event

Thank you very much for being a great audience for our pupils.  They really enjoyed presenting their Scottish songs, poems and performing the dances.   We are very proud of everyone who took part.
