Sighthill Primary School & Nursery

We are happy to let you know that Big Noise Wester Hailes will begin next year!

The charity Sistema Scotland, which runs the Big Noise programmes, has confirmed that Big Noise Wester Hailes will start in spring 2022. Big Noise will work in partnership with the three primary schools in Wester Hailes (including us) and with City of Edinburgh Council. The programme will start with children in Primary 1 and 2 and will grow to include children in nursery and Primary 3 by the end of its first year. 

This news will be made public in the media on Tuesday 29th June, but we wanted to let you know first. Thank you so much to everyone who took part in the digital meetings with Sistema Scotland or completed the feedback form. 

We will have more information about Big Noise Wester Hailes when school starts again in August.

As you may already know, we are aware of additional people in the school who have tested positive for COVID-19. We have been working closely with NHS Lothian Health Protection Team and following all national guidance.  

Persons have now been contacted because they have been in close and sustained contact with the case and the tracking process is now complete. 

These contacts will need to self-isolate and have been asked to book a COVID-19 test. Appropriate guidance and advice have been given. 

If there are any further cases of COVID-19 in the school/setting, we will ensure these individuals, and any of their close contacts, are advised to self-isolate promptly.

If you have not been contacted and your child remains well, you should continue to follow the school’s existing arrangements for your child.

Enhanced cleaning and infection control measures are in place in line with national guidance. The school is safe and remains open. 

If you have any concerns in the meantime, or if you need to book a COVID-19 test because your child has developed symptoms (high temperature, a new continuous cough and/or a loss or change in sense of smell or taste) please visit the NHS Inform website www.nhsinform.scot  or for non-clinical advice call 0800 028 2816.  

Please note that a test should only ever be booked if you or your child has these specifics symptoms. 

Remember to stay at home if anyone in the household has symptoms of COVID-19.
