PARENT UPDATE – OCTOBER 2024

What a lovely couple of days we have had back at school and hope you all had a wonderful October break!

Staff News

As you are aware Mrs Will has been seconded to support schools across Angus for the rest of this session. I can now share that I am delighted to have been appointed the Acting Head Teacher for the remainder of this session and look forward to continuing to work with you all.

We welcome Miss Briggs who will be covering classes across the school this term. Miss Briggs was a student with us previously and has taught classes last term and is familiar with our school and children.

We are delighted that Miss Rennie, one of our Early Years Practitioners in nursery, successfully secured an Acting Senior Early Years Practitioner post at Ladyloan Nursery just before the holidays. Miss Rennie is a former pupil at Grange and returned to complete her modern apprenticeship 8 years ago and has been with us ever since. She will be missed in Granger’s Gang and across the school however, we wish her all the very best in her new role! #believe
