Info

Every school has a Designated Officer who has been specially trained to listen to concerns and act on them as necessary. (Mr David Martindale, Depute Head Teacher Welfare & Pastoral Care, is our named officer). Unless satisfied that a child has not been harmed or is not at risk of being harmed, the school must relay their concerns immediately to the social work service and/or the police. Social work and the police will determine when and how the child’s parents/ carers and other services are to be informed of the concerns."

SCHOOL UNIFORM ‘Successful schools have a strong identity and are proud of their school uniform.’ Meldrum Academy is a school of which we are all very proud. Our school uniform is the result of extensive consultation involving pupils, parents, staff and the wider community. A pride in ‘wearing the school colours’ is one of the cornerstones of identity for a successful school. We hope that all parents and carers will work with us to encourage all of our children to wear a smart uniform with an identifiable crest. We expect all pupils to wear the Meldrum Academy uniform in school and when representing the school across Scotland. Pupils must show the school colours by wearing one of these items of clothing. A White/black shirt with Meldrum Academy tie. Or one of these B School sweatshirt with Meldrum Academy crest V-necked sweater with a school crest.

SCHOOL MEALS The catering facilities at Meldrum Academy have been carefully designed by Aberdeenshire Council Catering Services to reflect the most up to date catering practices in a modern and friendly environment. The aim is to offer pupils, staff and visitors a popular range of appetising options. A ‘Swipe Card’ payment system is in operation along with the new Express style of service to minimise time spent queuing. Use of the card is also helpful in teaching the pupils to manage their finances linked to a plastic card. An important life skill in the 21 st century! - 16 -
