The flowers are starting to bloom, and the days are getting longer. The children are keen to go out to play and explore but the costs continue to soar. You can find a list of free and low-cost activities to do in the run up to and during the Spring school holidays on the Family Holiday Activities webpage of the Support for Families website. The City of Edinburgh council are updating the webpage all the time, so please keep checking back in for new activities.

A Senior student is working towards the Languages Baccalaureate using his knowledge of Kurdish to investigate cultural similarities and differences in Kurdish barber shops in Scotland and Kurdistan.

Due to unforeseen issues around invigilation, we are adjusting our attendance arrangements for S5/6 students during our formal assessment block, 01.12.25 – 12.12.25, for this year only.

S5 and S6 students will not attend their usual timetabled classes. They will be permitted to study at home and to come into school to sit their assessments. If any student prefers to study in school, they will be accommodated in the library and other areas if necessary. Students have also been advised that they can still contact teachers and/or arrange to see them if support is required.

We wish our students the very best of luck for these important assessments.
