This is a Primary 1 Nurture Group run by Mrs Murdie and Mrs Kenny each afternoon in our Lighthouse Room.<\/p>\n

The Lighthouse is a room within the main building of the school. It was funded by Angus Council following extensive research in to the benefits of supporting children who can find Primary 1 overwhelming and difficult for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n

The leaflet linked below gives more information about this provision.<\/p>\n
