We had a brilliant day yesterday at our ‘Sports for Schools’ sponsored event with Olympic swimmer Caitlin McClatchey. Everyone enthusiastically took part in four circuit exercises before attending a special assembly where they heard about Caitlin’s journey to becoming an Olympic athlete. Please click here to see some photographs from yesterday (and some very red faces!).

We are now collecting sponsorship forms and money until Wednesday 7th October – even if you have not collected any money, please return your forms as we need these for our records. Many thanks for supporting this event.

Sponsored Event – Wednesday 30th September

We are very excited to welcome GB Olympic swimmer Caitlin McClatchey to our school on Wednesday as part of a Sports for Schools sponsored event. Your child will have a letter in their schoolbag today with more information and a sponsor form – as always, we greatly appreciate your support.

Parents’/Carers’ Visits – Thursday 8th October

Many thanks for returning your slips indicating your preferred time slot for parents’/carers’ visits. We always aim to give parents and carers their preferred time slot, however I am sure you will appreciate that this is not always possible owing to class numbers – we will do our best!

School Library – Exciting News!

We are absolutely delighted to inform you that we have been successful in an Education Scotland grant bid for £5000 to purchase ‘reading for enjoyment’ books to create a School Library! We are sure you will all agree that the children will benefit hugely from this. We will keep you updated with our progress. :-)

Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing September Break – school will reopen on Tuesday at 9.00am.
