Wednesday 2nd November will see the first in-person Parents’ Night for a number of years. This occasion will be for all S5/6 parents to review and discuss learning progress with their children’s teachers. This is a crucial activity to ensure that pupils are fully supported to attain their best through good communication and planning between home and the school.

If you are having any difficulty with this system, please call the school office.

All young people will have the opportunity to have their photograph taken on Wednesday 26^th Oct when photographers Colorfoto visit the school. Individual photographs will be offered to all S1-S6 and there will also be year group photographs for both S5 and S6. Photo packages will then be available to purchase online.

Time is running out to notify the Child Benefit office if your child aged 16-19 is staying in approved education or training

You  must act now and notify the Child Benefit Office by 31 August 2022 if your child is aged 16  years or above and is staying on at school or in approved education or training.

If you do this you can continue to receive Child Benefit for a child or young person aged 16-19. However, if your fail to notify the Child Benefit Office of this your Child Benefit, for any child aged 16 years or above, will stop automatically.

I have also attached a copy of a booklet we have prepared – ‘Financial support for families with children at school’ which gives details of financial support that may be available.
