Easter Study Timetable
Dear Parent / Carer,
Some in-school Study Sessions will operate during the Easter holiday. Details of the sessions on offer can be found on the timetable below. Pupils are not required to book a place on these sessions however teachers may gauge interest in order to prepare.
Please note that no new content will be covered during these in-school sessions, instead they will provide an opportunity for young people to ask questions and consolidate previous learning.
As these sessions are running during the Easter Break, no school transport will be available and it will be a young person’s responsibility to make their way to and from the school. If transport is causing difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact me.
In addition to the Easter Study Sessions, teachers will also be available during some periods of normal class time during the exam diet. Staff will share this information regarding these sessions via google classroom.
More information will follow with regards to study leave and SQA arrangements.

Yours sincerely,
Craig Knight
