School Closures

Posted on by

Unfortunately due to the Corona Virus COVID-19 outbreak the Government have made the decision to close all schools within Scotland as of Friday 20th March.  This is something we as a school have never had to deal with and we do not know the full details of this yet so please bear with us.  We will continue to update parents and carers as and when we have information on the situation.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
