2. Attention all S4 pupils S4
A small number of S4 pupils have been drawn to my attention for regularly disrupting the work of classes through inattentive behaviour and refusal to follow teachers’ instructions. 
Letters are being sent home to the parents and carers of those involved detailing the seriousness of this and outlining sanctions which will be applied if the situation persists.
