Therefore, for those sitting exams, their last day in school will be Friday 28th April. Pupils not sitting exams will be expected to attend school as normal and provision for this period will be provided.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope this clarifies the position regarding the educational provision for your child over the next few weeks prior to the timetable change.
All pupils who are sitting SQA examinations will be issued with an individual examination timetable. Please ensure pupils keep their examination timetable safe and arrive 15 minutes before every exam begins.
