The term is over and it’s now our Easter holiday fortnight.   Well done again to our pupils for getting stuck into on-line learning and to all our staff for their work over the term and in particular the last three weeks.

Over the past week school staff have been busy planning for next term and we’ll update you after the holidays.   Following the announcements from the SQA yesterday, we are pleased to say that the immediate pressure is off regarding evidencing estimate grades and completing aspects of coursework.  After Easter break we will provide further information on what is needed to support your certification.

It’s important that everyone has a break away from school work over the next two weeks.  We all need to switch off and relax, recharging our batteries for next term.  Try to enjoy the holidays as best you can in these exceptional times.  Stay safe and I hope you all stay well.  Take care everyone.

Please find in the link below information on the various accessibility features which are available to help support learning.

Keep safe and well.

As we finish this week of home learning, well done to our pupils for their achievements and a huge thank you to our staff team for all their work, not forgetting those working behind the scenes.

Weekend time now and time to switch off and try to relax.  We will all pick up again on Monday morning and see what next week brings.

Keep safe everyone.

I hope this finds you all well.  It’s still very early days with our home learning but already there is some great work going on.  We are all aware and understand that this is a difficult time.  Do what you can, when you can.  Remember we are all here for you so please get in touch if you need us via Google classrooms or alford.aca@aberdeenshire.gov.uk.

S4-S6 pupils, we’ll keep you posted when we get any updates from the SQA.  Try not to worry, we will do all we can for you.

Take care everyone.
