This report has been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements applicable to charities. GLOBAL PANDEMIC Impact on the Edinburgh Academy The Edinburgh Academy, along with the rest of the country watched the spread of COVID across the UK and the world in March 2020. The School had a few weeks of preparation to move to remote learning and teaching before the Scottish Government announced that schools would be closed from 20th March 2020 and that the certificate exams for 2020 had been cancelled and that the pupils would be graded on teacher assessments of their work. At this time the pupils in these certificate years were to be allowed into the School for 2 weeks to allow more evidence to be gathered to support their exam grades. This fast moving situation then changed again on Sunday 22 March 2020 when the Deputy First Minister made an announcement that no pupils were to attend school with immediate effect.
