Staffing

Modern Languages (temporary until June 2026) – we are interviewing for this post on Monday.

Congratulations to Calum Blair, Curriculum Leader of Numeracy and Computing, who was appointed, this week, as DHT at Balerno High School. This will mean we will be advertising this post in the next few weeks.

Parent Council

It was fantastic to see so many parents/carers at our first meeting on the year, which took place on Tuesday this week. Great to see so many of our new S1 pupils along too. Feedback is that parents/carres founf it really interesting to hear more about the school and their young person’s pathway from S1-S6. The next meeting takes place on 21 November, in the school library, at 6.30pm (although Sarah and Morven, our Parent Chairs, are there for an informal chat from 6pm).

Dalguise

S6 head off this weekend for their outdoor adventure to Dalguise. It will be a fun weekend that will allow them to further gel as an S6 group. A huge thank you to all the staff going who have given up their weekend to take the trip. We will look forward to hearing all about it on your return.

Library update

We will have a temporary Librarian for two days per week, starting the week beginning 7 October. On the other days staff will still be able to access the library with their classes. We do hope that it will be open full time in the near future.

Dates for your diary:

25 September – S1 Parents’ Consultation – 4.30-6.30pm (Knox Academy)

10 October – P7 Information Evening and visit to departments – 5-7pm

11 October – break for October holiday (staff return on Monday 21 October (in-service day) and pupils on Tuesday 22 October)

Our school calendar is updated regularly and should be used to access all information throughout the year and allows you to plan ahead too.
