Playground Supervision
At Chirnsyde Primary we aim to provide a safe place to play for our pupils and to ensure that they conduct themselves in a manner that fits our school values.
An adult presence is provided in playgrounds at both playtime and lunch time in terms of the schools (Safety and Supervision of pupils) (Scotland) Regulations, 1990.
Security Entrances
All doors have been upgraded to ensure entrances can only be accessed by means of a coded security fob.
All visitors to school must enter by the main entrance which also has a security camera to enable identification.
All visitors must report to the school office and sign the Visitors’ Book.
Information in Emergencies
We make every effort to maintain a full educational service, but on some occasions, circumstances arise which lead to disruption. Schools may be affected by, for example, severe weather, temporary interruption of transport, power failures or difficulties of fuel supply.
In such cases we shall do all we can to let you know about the details of closure or re-opening. We have established a text alert service - please make sure your mobile emergency contact is kept up to date.
We shall keep you informed by using letters, notices in local shops and community centres, announcements in local churches, local press and on this website.
