Thank you and Stay Safe.
Practical Pupils Next week.
A reminder to all parents/carers that all those who should attend school next week for Practical learning and teaching have been informed personally through their glow.
Only pupils that have been invited into school should attend.
Not all practical classes require pupils to be in school. Please do not send your child to school next week unless they have been specifically asked to do so.
Return of Senior Phase Practical pupils.
Following the First Minister’s announcement on Tuesday, a small number of S4-S6 pupils may return to school to complete teaching and learning for practical subjects.
Only pupils who have been asked to attend school, should do so, in their full uniform. If practical work can be completed via home learning, it should continue as normal.
Please read the Head Teacher’s letter, attached below, which details a practical timetable and FAQ’s about your child returning to school for practical work.
Thank you and Stay Safe everyone!
