Staff Development Day – Thursday 02 May changed to Friday 03 May 2024

This staff development day was set to align with the anticipated date of the UK General Election. There is no longer any certainty that an election will take place on this date, so following consultation with Headteachers, the staff development day will be moved to Friday 03 May 2024.

  • Thursday 02 May 2024 – will now be a normal school day.

  • Friday 03 May 2024 – will now be a staff development day. Schools will be closed to pupils except those secondary pupils presenting for SQA exams. Home to school transport will operate to and from secondary schools for these pupils.

  • Monday 06 May 2024 – this is a local holiday, schools are closed.
