With only two days until the Woodpark Burns Competition (Thursday), the poems around the school are sounding fantastic!

A reminder that on the day of the competition, the children are allowed to wear something tartan / Scottish (no football strips).

Thank you for all your support in helping the children to learn their poems…and enjoy your haggis tonight if you’re having some!

Dear Parents/Carers

I wish to let you know that  there have  been  reported cases of Covid in persons linked to the school and nursery.  You do not need to do anything unless you or a member of your family are contacted by Test and Protect as a close contact.  You are asked to note the guidance on self-isolation in the most recent letter from NHSL Public Health primary and the most recent letter from NHSL Public Health nursery

Mrs D MacKenna, Head Teacher

If your child wants to have a go at their poem over the weekend but doesn’t have it home with them, click the link below to access all the poems on the school website.

We can’t wait to hear them all on Thursday – last year’s recitals will take some beating!

Click here for our updated school handbook, which is also available on our School Publications page.

Following the First Minister’s recent update to Scottish Parliament which included changes to self-isolation periods effective as of midnight 6th January 2022, here is a summary of the changes:

Positive cases are advised to self-isolate for 10 days. However, if the individual returns two consecutive negative LFD tests taken at least 24 hours apart with the first test no earlier than day 6 they may end isolation before the end of the 10 day period if they have no fever.

Close contacts who are fully vaccinated, having received 3 doses of the vaccination (plus 14 days) or are aged under 18 years and 4 months, can take daily LFD tests for 7 days instead of isolation – provided the tests are negative and they remain without symptoms. If someone has not received 3 doses of the vaccination, they will need to book a PCR test and even if this is a negative result, they will need to isolate for 10 days.

Advice on confirmatory PCR tests Where people test positive on a lateral flow device (LFD) test they are now not advised to get a PCR test to confirm infection, but to follow isolation advice as it applies to them as a positive case (see positive case point) – there is an exception for people who may be eligible for the Self-Isolation Support Grant who are advised to take a PCR test to ensure they can confirm their infection to be potentially eligible for financial support.
