S4-S6 Prelim Study Leave Arrangements
S4
For S4 pupils there is no 'Study Leave' and when pupils do not have an exam they are expected in school as normal. If they have an exam they are granted 'study leave' for that day and need only come into school for their exam and are free to return home afterwards. If they choose to remain in school they should resume their usual timetabled classes.
S5&S6
These pupils will only be required to be in school if they have an exam or they choose to study here. To minimise disruption, if pupils choose to come in to study they must sign in and out of school at normal times, ie start of the day, break time or lunchtime and wear dress code as normal. Pupils must leave the building at the end of each day by 4pm (1pm on Fridays).

S3 PARENTS EVENING
Bookings for the S3 Parents Evening on Wednesday 5 February can now be made online by following the link below. All parents/carers should have received a message via the Xpressions App, email or text informing them that booking is open.
The booking system closes on Wednesday 29 January at 3.30pm so we advise that you log on to make appointments at your earliest convenience as this cannot be done after the deadline.
It may not always be possible for Parents/Carers to see all of the staff teaching their children at Parents’ Evenings. If there are particular staff members that you have not been able to secure appointments with, your child's Guidance Teacher will be available on a drop-in basis during the Parents’ Evening.
Guidance teachers have an overview of your child in the school and they will be pleased to discuss any aspects of your child's learning with you, as well as liaise with subject teachers that you did not manage to see and respond to any queries.
It is also important to remember that Parents and Carers are welcome to contact Guidance staff at any time. KGS welcomes parental contact and we remain committed to ensuring that we provide opportunities for regular and on-going contact with all of our Parents and Carers.
