Poor eyesight can have a significant effect on childrenâs ability to learn and on their behaviour, yet often goes unrecognised by teachers, parents and by the children themselves. The Childrenâs Eyecare Group is hoping to raise awareness amongst parents of the importance of their children having regular eye checks if they have any concerns about their vision.

In-Service Arrangements – April/May
Aberdeen City Council has approval from the Scottish Government to close all schools on Friday 29 April 2011 as part of the national holiday celebrating the royal wedding.
Aberdeen City Council has approval to move the extant in-service day from 29 April to Tuesday 3 May. This date was selected in order to match with an existing Aberdeenshire in-service day and therefore reduce disruption for parents, families and staff. Please note in your diary.
