• Timetable issuing

• Keep the copy issued to you

• Please check that all classes are correct.

• Take a photo on your phone if possible.


• Hygiene protocols

• The best measures to reduce the risk of

transmission are physical distancing and

practicing good hygiene. Everyone has a role

to play in this.


Good Hygiene

• Frequent hand washing/sanitising will be expected of everyone in the school.

• There will be hand sanitiser at every classroom door as well as at entry points to the school and in the dining room.

• Pupils must use the sanitiser when entering the school building.

• Pupils must use the sanitiser when entering a classroom.

• Pupils must wash their hands when they use the toilet.


Good Hygiene

• Proper mouth/face hygiene should be practiced at all times

• Avoid touching your face, eyes, mouth;

• Cover coughs and sneezes with the inside of your elbow.

• Any used tissues should be disposed of properly and carefully in a white bin then wash or sanitise your hands.

• Surfaces should be wiped down after you have finished at them – at the end of each lesson all pupils will be required to wipe down their desk area and seat. This is not optional.


Good Hygiene

• Do not share food and drink with others.

• Do not share your personal items with others

– including your mobile phone.

• Face coverings are not mandatory but can be

worn by pupils and staff if they wish.


Good Hygiene

• you may want to source a small personal

bottle of hand sanitiser which you can carry as

an extra reassurance .We would also ask that

you carry a face covering with you as well.


Face Coverings

• The use of face coverings is not required in school. However, some pupils and some staff may choose to wear a face covering. That is a matter of personal choice. In some circumstances staff must wear a mask or face-covering. Pupils should not be alarmed if they see this. A member of staff wearing a mask does not mean there is an infectious person in school.

• Action will be taken if anyone makes inappropriate comments towards another pupil or staff member who chooses to wear a face covering.


Personal Items

• Pupils may bring a bag to school containing

their normal necessary items such as pens,

pencils, ruler, calculator, etc. Jotters can be

taken between school and home as well as

books issued for the individual use of a pupil.


Personal Items

• Pupils must not share their personal items with other pupils. You are usually great at lending a friend a pen or pencil but please do not do that anymore. The teacher will provide a pen or a pencil if one is required.

• The use of shared equipment in classes is likely to an infrequent experience and will be limited to items that can be properly cleaned between uses.

• Mobile phones are a way to spread infection so if you bring a phone to school it must not be shared.


Personal Items

• If you bring personal devices to school we cannot supply wipes to clean those down so please make sure you bring your own supply.

• As always, all personal items brought to school are at your own risk and the school cannot replace or repair any lost or damaged items.


• School Uniform

• Pupils should be wearing normal school uniform.(black trousers / skirt, white shirt, black shoes, school tie) No leggings unless under a skirt.

• Windows in classrooms will be left open to improve ventilation so rooms may be a bit cooler than normal. Therefore you may want to consider a school jumper as an addition to your uniform. A plain black jumper with no logo and, please, no hoodies.


• Practical Subjects – teachers will update

you with the most recent advice for these

subjects when we receive it.

• Kit for PE- at present we are not allowed to

use changing rooms for changing. If you

have PE on any given day, please come to

school in your PE kit.

• Currently the access to devices from the LRC is under

review and we will inform you as soon as we have a

process in place for accessing these devices.


• Learning and Teaching

• We have our normal high expectations of pupils in all

aspects. This includes ensuring that you behave

appropriately at all times. There will be action, should pupils

not behave appropriately or make any other member of our

school community feel unsafe or vulnerable.


• Physical Distancing

• While there will be no requirement for pupils to maintain 2m

distancing from each other in class, there are some simple

expectations of pupils as regards distancing while in other

parts of school:



• At break times pupils should try to remain with their usual year group and avoid mixed-year groupings.

• Try to maintain distance from each other

• No Physical contact – especially handshakes, hugs and other greetings that involve close contact – should be avoided.

• Maintain 2m distance from all staff.

• Avoid prolonged time spent face-to-face with others, including during class time.



• Where possible go outside to meet with friends.

• If a location is already busy – go somewhere else. No

gathering or stopping in the school between classes.

• When pupils leave the school grounds they must follow all

the regulations in force for distancing.


S6 Area

• This is unavailable at present and we hope this will change

in the future.

Study periods

• You can study in the LRC or the Riverside. The Riverside

can accommodate a maximum of 50 pupils


College Courses

• These will start online. Pupils can sign-out and go home to complete this work. Any questions see Mr Ferguson.

Signing out

• When you have finished your timetabled classes you can sign-out and go home. You MUST sign-out at Reception so we keep accurate Track and Trace records.


• Course Change

• If you wish to change a course, please collect a form and course choice form from your PSL/Mrs Coffey/school office.

• Complete the form and ensure that you have a staff signature confirming you can take the subject you wish to move into.

• Return the form to Mrs Coffey no later than Monday

• Continue to follow your original timetable until Mrs Coffey has confirmed whether or not your move has been improved. This will hopefully be by Wednesday but be patient.


• Positivity Wall

• Lockdown has brought challenges, opportunities and positive experiences! Take some time to consider and (if you feel able) share what you enjoyed or gained in the last few months

• Note your positive experience on the card provided – you can make this as artistic or simplistic as you wish!

• We will add these to the Positivity Wall staff have been preparing and hope it will help us all to stay cheerful as we get used to being back


• Questions and Answers

• We will collate these and aim to have a further update

during tutor time on Friday morning.

• Have a good first day back and is really good to see you

all again after 5 months.
