Realigning Children’s Services

Survey of pupils in P5 to P7

Realigning Children’s Services is an important programme about the lives of children in Scotland.

This is an entirely new survey, designed specifically to meet the needs of the RCS programme. Children will complete a web-based questionnaire themselves during a lesson at primary school.  All children in P5-P7 will complete the same questionnaire, regardless of which school year they are in. The differences in age are unlikely to have a significant effect on how they interpret and respond to the questions.

Children  will be  asked about:

  • friendship and family

  • how they find school

  • play and what they do in their free time

  • health and feelings

Before the Easter holidays further information will be sent out via pupil post with the survey planned to take place after the holidays.

Working with the Clackmannan Development Trust

Our Digital Leaders have been in consultation with a group from the Clackmannan Development Trust who are working to put together a Heritage walk around the village.  Mrs Donald has been introducing green screening to make videos to be placed around the walk.  We aim to create qr codes to direct walkers to the information.  Here is a test of the video.  What do you think?
