Stirling Council took the decision to temporarily close the establishment on Monday to allow a deep clean of the building after a pupil in the school community tested positive for COVID-19.

Following discussions with Public Health Scotland, the school will now re-open as normal on Tuesday.

This has been updated following fresh guidance from the UK and Scottish Governments on 16 March. 

The latest advice from NHS Inform states:

  • If you develop a new continuous cough and/or high temperature (37.8 degrees centigrade or higher) stay at home for 7 days, even if you think your symptoms are mild
  • Those with mild symptoms do not need to call their GP or NHS24 (111).
  • If you are concerned about more serious symptoms, or if your symptoms worsen, you should seek medical advice from your GP in hours, or NHS24 out of hours on 111
  • All other household members who don’t develop any symptoms should stay at home for 14 days
  • Staff with an underlying health condition or are pregnant should work from home.  
  • More information is available at www.nhsinform.scot/coronavirus

All Stirling Council schools remain open at this time and we encourage all pupils, staff and their families to carefully read the advice above.
