Decant information evening

Thank you to the very large number of parents who attended our decant information evening tonight. This meeting gave us the opportunity to share our planning and how learning and teaching will be delivered over the next three years from August. From August our school will split into two with most senior classes taking place at Darroch - approximately 12 minutes from our main campus.

We will follow up on the points raised this evening in order to ensure that risks to the smooth running of the school are minimsed.

Areas of concern raised by parents tonight included:

• The impact of noise during this year's SQA exams
• Teaching time lost whilst pupils are in transit between the school and Meadowbank
• The potential diminished positive impact of seniors around the school
• Support for staff
• Risk of injury to pupils crossing roads whilst in transit between Darroch and the main campus
• The importance of ensuring that S6 have access to a comon room
• Travel arrangements to and from Meadowbank 

I hope that we managed to allay the concerns raised this evening. The issues raised and our responses will be placed on the school website early next week.
