All children will have a break and lunchtime. In order to maintain distancing between each group, each child will be allocated a seat at lunch time. Those eligible for free school meals can be provided with a school lunch (all Nursery and P1-3 children are eligible for this). Others opting for a school lunch should pay on ParentPay as normal. Alternatively, packed lunches can be brought from home. This week will be Week 1 of the normal menu. 

Please note* Parents/carers must inform the school immediately if their child or another family member is displaying symptoms of Covid-19. They must not attend school. If a pupil or staff member becomes unwell during the school day they will be isolated until such time as they can safely return home. A Covid-19 test should be booked immediately to ensure compliance with Scottish Government Test and Protect.
