P4-7 Pupil Return

We look forward to welcoming back our P4-7 pupils on Monday. Please see the attached signposts poster for information on the pupils return.

We kindly remind parents to maintain 2m distances from others at the gates.

Please ensure you are wearing a mask when dropping off and collecting children from school.

We ask that parents to do wait at the school gates in the morning after dropping children off, it is important to clear the way for other children being dropped off. There are adults in the yard to supervise children from 8.45am.
