Good Morning and Welcome Back

A very warm welcome back to Tollcross Primary online.

I hope everyone is safe, well and managing to get outside for some exercise.

Our staff are looking forward to continuing to provide online learning and support for all our children and their families. We have really enjoyed seeing all the learning activities shared on Twitter and on our school website, this has been a great way  for us to stay connected as a school community. Our staff have lots of exciting activities planned for this term and many of our teachers and Pupil Support Assistants are supporting the children of key workers in our Hub school at James Gillespie’s High School.

If we can be of any support, assistance or help please get in touch using our school admin email – Admin@tollcross.edin.sch.uk

Although we are learning, working and living in different locations we are still Tollcross Primary School and we will continue to do our best to support you and your family.

Good Afternoon

Thank you to everyone for sharing your learning with us, commenting, emailing, liking, Tweeting and blogging. We have really enjoyed sharing your day.

A big thank you to our teaching staff for their dedication to providing exciting opportunities and activities for online learning for all our children and their families.

Many of our staff have volunteered to support our learners who will be attending the Hub School at Tynecastle High school. We are working as a team to support the children whose parents and carers are key workers. If a member of staff is on the volunteering rota another teacher will post the learning on their class blog. We will continue to support all of our children learning at home.

Thank you to everyone for all their kind messages and comments this week. We are in different locations at the moment but we are still Tollcross Primary School.

Stay Safe and look after each other.

Good Morning

Good morning Tollcross Families. The City of Edinburgh Council is in the process of confirming spaces for the children of key workers to provide learning and childcare. This service is for the children of families where both parents are critical key workers or a single parent who is a key worker. In a two parent family it is expected that the parent able to work from home will provide childcare. If both parents are key workers or a single parent is a key worker then the Hub Schools will welcome your children and provide learning and childcare for your family.

We fully support the service and care our key workers are providing for our communities at this time.

If you have any questions, enquiries or require support please get in touch with us at admin@tollcross.edin.sch.uk
