Forthview Primary pupils will return to school next week – but in classroooms scattered across Edinburgh. Dealing with the temporary closure of seventeen schools has been a logistical nightmare for council officials and it’s proved impossible to keep the Forthview kids together.
The local children will be bussed to no less than seven different educational establishments all over the city – from nearby Granton all the way out out to Wester Hailes.
The arrangements for Forthview were announced this afternoon and they are:
All P1 to P7 and nursery pupils should report to West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre on West Pilton Grove at their normal time on Tuesday 19 April, where they will be taken by bus to their alternative locations.
Parents should then collect their children from West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre at normal pick up times.
Lunches and breakfast club
There will be no breakfast club. We will provide free packed lunches for all pupils.
After School Club
North Edinburgh Childcare will contact parents directly about arrangements.
