Severe weather

In the event of severe weather, the school will only close if it is untenable to remain open, in line with East Dunbartonshire policy. In such circumstances when your child is unable to attend school, please refer to guidelines you have received from your child's class teacher about work they can do at home to progress their learning.

Below are some websites and activities which the children could work on when unable to attend school
