It is vital that the support being offered to parents of key workers is only accessed by those who absolutely require it to enable NHS and other critical services to function.

Key Worker Form Return
If you are an eligible key worker, who has absolutely no other suitable childcare arrangements then your child can attend school and school transport will run as normal. Please click the link below to find the required pro-forma – this needs to be completed and can either be sent electronically to: enquiries@chrystonhigh.n-lanark.sch.uk

Similarly, you can fill it in and send it in with your child to be handed in to the school office as they arrive. If you are unable to do either of these then the school will contact you to gather all of the relevant information as required.

COVID-19 – Update for Parents 23/03/2020
Please click on the link below for the latest update regarding COVID-19.
Although all schools officially closed on Friday afternoon at 3pm, we recognise our duty to support Key Workers in posts which ensure that essential services can be delivered and cover tasks within the local community which support the vulnerable and aid community resilience. This service is for families where both parents/carers are key workers or in the case of single parent families, where the main care giver is a key worker.
It is essential to stop the spread of COVID-19 that people who can work from home do work from home. The remaining education support service should only be accessed by those who absolutely require it to enable National Health Service and other critical services to continue and also for vulnerable young people. We greatly appreciate your cooperation with this.
