School week survey

A survey on plans to introduce a 33-period week across Moray’s secondary schools has already generated nearly 400 responses.

The survey was launched as part of a wide-ranging consultation on the proposals and will remain open until Friday, May 19.

Many Scottish education authorities operate a 32 or 33-period week, while Moray’s eight secondaries currently have a 30-period timetable.

Supporters of the proposed change believe it will provide greater flexibility to develop and enhance the school curriculum.

Moray Council area stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Forres in the west. The council and its 4,500 employees respond to the needs of 95,510 residents in this beautiful part of Scotland, which nestles between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live.
