Dear Parents and Carers.
Thanks for your support again at drop off today. Your positivity and understanding, combined with assistance provided by the Central Education Team from City of Edinburgh Council and the Head Teachers and staff at both St Peter’s and St Augustine’s has made a challenging situation a whole lot easier. Thank you.
Firstly, we would like to start by congratulating our Glee Performers, who performed superbly at the Corn Exchange last night, huge thanks also to Mrs Igoe, Mrs Kelly and Miss Tulloch for their time preparing and supporting the pupils, especially given the current circumstances.
Secondly and importantly, we have unfortunately had to take the decision to postpone the Parents Evenings scheduled for next week. The challenges of trying to find a suitable venue as well as the unavailability of our jotters, folders and other evidence meant that this was the only possible course of action if the meetings were to be meaningful and informative with regards to the discussion of your children’s learning. Please be assured that this decision was not taken lightly and that these meetings will be rearranged after the Easter Holiday either in person, if we are back at school or via Teams if not. I’ll keep you updated.
A number of you have asked if we have any updates re when we will return to our building. Further safety checks will be taking place over the next few days and we hope to hear more next week but at the moment we have no further updates to share, we will of course do so as soon as we have them.
It is great that Gingerbread After School Care Club is back open today and that our Nursery remains open. Please note however that cricket club has now ceased for this term.
Finally, please note that whilst we are not in the school building, it may be best not to leave bikes or scooters in their usual storage spaces as the building is unattended and there is a risk they could be stolen.
Daily Updates will continue to be sent out via Groupcall email and also posted on the Newsletters section of our school website. Please email admin@st-cuthberts.edin.sch.uk with any questions.
Best wishes
Mr Brack
St Cuthbert's RC Primary School
