Week One

Dear Parents and Carers, 

Thank you for all your support during our first week back in school this academic year. 

It has been so lovely welcoming all pupils back into school and we have been really impressed with their positivity and determination to make the most of all the opportunities available to them. 

Mr Harvey has reminded all pupils this week about the importance of Registration.  He has also created a short video for our pupils and parents – you can find the link here: https://prezi.com/v/krn904pty_yt/ 
 
This week all schools have been notified by SQA that exams will take place in May 2022 for our S4, 5 and 6 pupils.  SQA will be releasing more information later this month with specific details for each subject and we will share this with you as soon as it is available.  
 
Over the holiday we’ve had a quick refresh of our school website, along with our main social media channels – Facebook and Twitter.  We aim to keep these updated with key information that parents may need easy access to, along with sharing good news stories about all our pupils’ achievements.  Links are available below: 

• Website: http://www.kgsorkney.com/ 
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kirkwallgrammarschool/  
• Twitter: https://twitter.com/kgsorkney?lang=en  

​Parents receive lots of information from us via the Xpressions app.  If you are unsure how to download this, or need any further support, please let us know.  We would always encourage parents to contact your child’s guidance teacher in the first instance although I can always be contacted via email too if the matter is urgent. 

I hope your child has had a very positive first week and we look forward to seeing them again after the weekend. 
 
Yours faithfully, 
​Miss Claire Meakin 
Head Teacher
