Dear Parents/Carers

We know that school is important, but we also understand that it isn’t always easy. Some children struggle with attending, and as a parent or carer, you may feel unsure about what to do. Please know you’re not alone. Many families face similar challenges, and support is available.

The Scottish Government, along with ParentClub.scot have created resources and advice for parents and carers of young people who are finding it difficult to attend school consistently. Information and advice can be found at https://www.parentclub.scot/topics/school-education You can also seek support from your child's Pastoral Care Teacher.

Below are some leaflets that may help:
