Dear Families,

I hope you are all having a good Summer despite the mixed weather!

I am sure you will be aware that the First Minister announced that all children will return to schools from next week. Edinburgh schools will re-open to pupils from Wednesday 12 August.

I attended a Council briefing meeting for Headteachers yesterday and I just wanted to give you an interim update. The Council will communicate directly with families and headteachers on Wednesday 5 August to outline the Council position on the re-opening of schools. Once I have received this information, I will be able to let you know the arrangements for Sciennes. I know you will be keen to hear our plans and I will be back in touch later this week.

Best wishes,

Andrew
