    Education & Children’s Services Linda Evans Rector Inverurie Academy Jackson Street Inverurie AB51 3PX nd Tel. 01467 621655 2 October 2015 Fax 01467 624425 [email protected] Dear Parent/Carer SEVERE WEATHER ARRANGEMENTS As you know, the weather during winter can become severe quite suddenly. As a result of this, Aberdeenshire Council has clear policies and practices regarding snowstorm and other severe weather arrangements. This letter aims to outline our school procedures and includes a storm arrangements form which we would ask that you complete carefully and return by Friday 9th October 2015 1. SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS DURING SNOWSTORMS/SEVERE WEATHER If you live in an isolated location, and the weather is severe at the beginning of the day, it would be advisable for your child to remain at home for that day. On such occasions please phone and inform the school. If school transport is not running please do not bring your child to school. If you normally bring your child into school by car then you must come with your child to the School Office, so that we can advise you regarding the transport situation. In the past some pupils have been dropped off at school by parents/ carers who have then had to make a second journey immediately to collect pupils and take them home. 2. BUSES UNABLE TO REACH SCHOOL AFTER STARTING A JOURNEY The hirer will contact us. We will then attempt to contact those on the “priority calls” lists (as detailed further on in this letter), to let those involved know that their child/ward is coming home again.

SCULPTURED SYMBOL STON NEWTOT EA LEWESKP NO , RAYNE. The parish of Rayne lies fully twenty miles north-west of Aberdeen, and can be reached from either Inveramsay or Oyne stations on the main line of the Great North of Scotland Railway, or from Wartle station on the Macduff branch. From an antiquarian point of view it is rather an interesting parish. Lowrin Fair (i.e. Lawrence Fair), much frequente olden di n times stild f considerablan ,o l e importances ,i held annually in August at the village of Old Rayne. To it people gathered from far and near, and much business was transacted, not only sale f horseth o e n than d i cattle i f mant an so t bu ,y other kindf o s merchandise. It is recorded that on one occasion, Leslie, the laird of Pitcaple, an estate in the neighbouring parish, bought up all the wine to be had at the Fair, in anticipation of an approaching royal visit. Of frequene th t disputes whic hcommemorates i e Fair arose th t on , a e n di Tullidaffs Cairn, which marks the spot where Leslie of Wardes slew e lair th f Tullidaffdo . The old market cross (fig. 1) stands in the centre of the village, and in its shaft are embedded one or two fragments of iron, all that remain of the jougs, an old Scottish instrument of punishment, which, it may be presumed, was in frequent use during the time of the Fair.
