Change of Timetable

Change of Timetable – June 2024

S1-2

Current S1-2 pupils will change timetable on Monday 3 June. This means that all pupils will move up to the next year. e.g. S1 will now become S2 pupils, and S2 will now become S3. This will mean that pupils will follow a different timetable from Monday and are likely to be in some different classes from the previous year. All current S1-2 pupils will get their timetable in school on Thursday and will have the opportunity to pick it up on Friday if they are absent. If a pupil is off school this week, then they can collect their timetable at the front of the school when the new timetable starts on Monday 3 June as well.

S3-5

All current S3-5 pupils will change timetable on Wednesday 5 June. New S4-6 pupils will be taking part in Senior Phase induction on Monday (3rd) and Tuesday (4th) next week (information sent out separately for this) and will receive their timetable as part of these Senior Phase induction days on Tuesday. If a pupil is off school on those days, then they can collect their timetable at the front of the school when the new timetable starts on Wednesday 5 June.

Tutor Changes

As previously communicated, we will no longer be continuing with Tutor in school. From Monday pupils will no longer attend tutor at 8.30am each day. Instead pupils will begin Period 1 at this time. It is important to note that the school day has not changed and it is very important that pupils arrive at school before the first bell rings at 8.28am to be in their Period 1 class for 8.30am.

As with all other periods during the school day, if a pupil is late for Period 1 or absent, then this will marked as such and communication will be made with home. Can we please ask for your support in making sure our young people are in school, on time, each morning.

Recoursing

If a new S3-6 pupil wants to change a subject that they have chosen then they will be given an opportunity to recourse. A digital sign-up sheet will be available outside Mr McFarlane’s door for pupils to scan to if they would like to recourse from a subject. They must continue to go to their classes in the meantime until this has been done. It is important that they do as follows if they wish to recourse:

  • Pupils remain in classes unless Mr McFarlane has contacted the classroom teacher to send them for re-coursing.
  • Pupils should not leave a classroom to recourse or scan the sheet. They should only do this during break or lunchtime.
  • Looking to recourse does not mean that a pupil will be recoursed. This will be dependent on availability of other subjects at that time. Therefore they should continue to work hard, as required, in their current classes.
