1 Comment

As part of our going commitment to you, our families, we are piloting a series of Vlogs on areas that are important to you. We are working in partnership with Police Scotland and other partners to ensure Health & Wellbeing of all who live in the Grange community. Some Vlogs will have a parental focus and others we will tailor for use in class with the children.

Following this first Vlog, please click on the link to complete the very quick survey so we can work on the topic of future Vlog’s.

Please also add any feedback you wish to make in the comments section on the blog

Many Thanks

It’s hard to believe we are almost at the end of yet another successful school year. Last night at the Oscars we gave an emotional farewell to our P7’s and we wish them well as they move on to high school. Don’t forget we will have our P7 Parade tomorrow at 2.50pm where they will be piped out in a procession to allow everyone to wave them off in style. They are a great bunch and I hope they take away as many fond memories of Grange as I have of them!

Also moving on tomorrow is Mrs Wallace who has taught at Grange for many years. She has been a great support to lots of children over the years and her sense of fun and humour will be greatly missed by us all. We hope she will keep in touch as she goes off to enjoy her retirement and I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all of her hard work during her time at Grange. It’s now time to relax and enjoy!

Mrs Snee is also moving on to take up a  post at Fintry Primary School and I am sure that great things lie ahead for her. She has given our P7’s an excellent end to their time at Grange and she has made a fantastic start to her teaching career. Mrs Mitchell (School and Pupil Support Assistant) is also moving on to a new post in Angus. Once again I would like to take this opportunity to thank them both for their hard work and commitment to the school and wish them the very best of luck in their new posts.

As we look towards our new school year in August we are delighted to have so many new faces joining us. We will have three trainee teachers: Miss Ritchie, Miss McIntosh and Miss Tugman. They will be supported and mentored by Miss Kean, Mrs Robertson and Mr Findlay respectively and having met them I am confident that the enthusiasm they each bring will be energising for all of us. We will also welcome Mrs Smith and Mrs Watson to P7 in August, both of whom are experienced teachers who bring lots of expertise that will benefit our school. Lots of changes and exciting times ahead!

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all of our staff and families for your ongoing of our school. It truly is a privilege to lead such a successful and caring school and to watch your children learn and grow. I am extremely proud and lucky to be the Head Teacher of Grange and I am excited to embark upon another year of Great Grange Learning with everyone. Have a wonderful family summer everyone and see you in August!
