We have been made aware that some parents/carers have been advised, through the phone hotline to book a PCR test, that children who are contacts should not have a PCR test. This is incorrect advice in Scotland. Any member of staff or a pupil who is a contact of a positive case is required to organise a PCR test.

If anyone is having difficulty booking a test on the phone, they should try booking a test on the UK Gov website (https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test), and the parent/carer should choose the option when asked: “Why are you asking for a test”: I’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for coronavirus and “I found out in another way that I’m a contact (England, Wales and Scotland only)”

Please see the attached information about activities for the summer. Enjoy!

We had so many achievements to celebrate that today’s assembly is in 2 parts!

I hope you enjoy them and that you are left feeling super proud and happy – Well Done Everybody!

We want to support everybody to get active and enjoy their summer so we have identified several opportunities within our summer sports coaching programmes that we would like to offer at no cost to children from families living on low incomes.

• Opportunities for coached activities for children in Swimming, Tennis and Gymnastics

• Opportunities for fun physical activity sessions that the whole family can take part in together.

Families who are eligible for the programme include children who receive school uniform and meal grants, care experienced children, young carers, children whose families are in receipt of Universal Credit and children supported by a child’s plan.

We are happy for this information to be shared widely with all families, giving those who are eligible the opportunity to self-select.

Completed forms should be returned to active@edinburghleisure.co.uk by JULY 4th
