We are now at the end of the first completed week for pupils and whilst, all appears to be up and running, we will now need to review our progress and, where we can, make some adjustments. Over the next two days I will be visiting classes at both Lauderdale and Darroch to speak with pupils and staff about the first week. The three questions I will be asking are:
1) What's working well?
2) What's been tricky and
3) What changes should we make.
Armed with this information I will then meet with senior staff and assess which of the current arrangements are causing concern and what changes we will make.
During the past week the pupils and staff have been superb. There have been some glitches but all have been patient and used common sense and initiative to resolve settling in issues.
Parents are invited to drop me a note or contact me by email to share any feedback they have at this stage. I will report on progress on this blog and in the next newsletter which is scheduled to go out in 2 weeks time.
Community Council Elections will take place in Marchmont & Sciennes and other areas across South Edinburgh over the next month. Anyone over 16 can stand. How can we bring this to attention of your senior pupils? See http://goo.gl/UDU9NC for more!
