National Qualification Planning

Moving into the senior phase of the school, with its new qualifications and structure, will require some forethought and planning to meet the needs of our young people. We would like all our current pupils in S3 to complete an on-line survey to help us plan for the next three years in relation to potential course choices and routes of progression through the senior phase.

The on-line survey is simple to use and will allow us to collate information quickly. If you have difficulty in accessing this at home, we will provide an opportunity for your son/daughter to complete this in school. We would, however, encourage you to discuss the survey with your child.

Please complete the survey by Friday 14th December. Click here to access the survey – NQ Planning

Groupcall Messenger

From week beginning 3 December, Dyce Academy will be using Groupcall Messenger to alert parents by text message of important information from the school. Initially this will be used to notify parents of pupil attendance and will gradually be extended over the coming months to include any transport or closure information in the event of bad weather, Parents’ Evening reminders and parental letters issued.

In order for you to receive these messages, it is vital that the school holds up-to-date contact information for parents. Family update forms were issued recently to help us with this, but a number have still to be returned. If you know that we do not hold the most up-to-date information for you, please contact the school by phone or e-mail to inform us so that we can amend our records.
