Final Consultation on Summer School Holidays 2021-2025 

In May 2019 the Aberdeen City Council Education Operations Committee considered the public feedback on the school holiday pattern. They approved retaining the general pattern of school holidays of previous years with the exception of bringing the summer holidays forward by one week. The Committee requested that further consultation should be sought to agree when the summer holidays should start from 2020-21 to 2024-25.

ACC are seeking the views of all parents, school staff and children and young people.

Parents and staff are asked to provide responses via this link https://forms.gle/vJBQzyuem3pdNuvo7 – students will be asked to provide responses within school.

The survey opens Monday 9 September 2019 until Friday 20 September 2019.

School Uniform Swap Shop

As you may know we are delighted to be linking up with our feeder primary schools and support the School Uniform Swap Shop.

There are currently two Swap Shops, one in the green room of the Dyce Community Centre and another located in New Machar Primary. If you are in need of any primary or secondary school items, feel free to come to a Swap Shop and take what you need. Equally we are in need of secondary school items, so if you have any extra Dyce Hoodies, polo shirts etc we would be very appreciative if these could be donated to either swap shop location or the Dyce Academy school office.

We hope you will help bring the Dyce Academy community together and allow all pupils to feel ready and confident in their journey through secondary school.
