Dear Parents and Carers
Further to the strike action declared by the EIS and the AHDS on 24 November 2022, the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA) has announced that their members will take strike action on Thursday 8 December 2022. As this only affects our secondary schools, and the impact is dependent on schools’ individual circumstances, each school will have its own arrangements. Please see letter issued from Nicola McDowell , dated 30 November 2022, for full details of arrangements for Knox Academy pupils on this day.

Knox Community 'pop-up' Gospel Choir was launched in October 2022 and have been rehearsing every Thursday afternoon in preparation for the Knox Christmas Concert 2022. Members in the choir include p7, S1 and S6 students, parents, teachers, admin staff, learning support staff, a local musician and senior management. It's been a wonderful way to bring people across our wider school community together in a joyful, creative way!

GoSEStran is a new app designed as a one-stop-shop to make travel around East Lothian simpler.
Go ahead and download it off Google Play and Apple App Store now to give it a go!
The app allows you to plan your door-to-door journey around East Lothian (and beyond!) and gives you the various sustainable travel choices available, showing how long each one takes, the likely cost, and even the predicted CO2 emissions. The project is aiming to contribute to the research and knowledge about how to improve the integration and reliability of transport, especially in rural areas.
