Parents evenings put on hold following 'critical incident' at Jedburgh Grammar Campus
Last updated 7th Nov 2024
Extra support is being offered to pupils at Jedburgh Grammar Campus following a "critical incident" at the school.
Parents evenings, and other events, planned for this week have been put on hold.
And any parents with concerns about their children are being advised to contact their class or pastoral teacher.
Scottish Borders Council says it's unable to release any details about the incident which unfolded yesterday afternoon (Tuesday).
But local councillor Scott Hamilton posted on social media that his "thoughts and prayers are with all those involved" - and that school staff and the local authority "will look to support all those affected".

In a message to parents, Lesley Munro, Director, Education and Children’s Services at Scottish Borders Council, said: "Following the critical incident at the school (on Tuesday), we want to confirm that supports will be in place (on Wednesday) to wrap around the school community at this difficult time.
"These supports will include education psychologists, trained officers, school staff and partners who will be available for as long as is needed.

"If you have any concerns about your child or children, please do not hesitate to contact school through their class or pastoral teacher or in whatever would be your normal way.
"As I’m sure you understand it is not appropriate to continue with planned events for now and parents evenings planned for this week will be scheduled for a later date."
