Staffing Update
As part of the Scottish Attainment Challenge, Morag Morton, Early Years Worker, will be part of the school team. She will be working with classes and small groups of children to support health and wellbeing.
We have recently appointed a new Depute Headteacher, Mrs Kelly. Mrs Kelly comes from a primary school in Stirling Council and will take up post in August 2016. We’d like to say a big thank you to Elaine Henderson and Carol Lindsay, the pupils and staff who supported the school throughout the recruitment process. We very much look forward to Mrs Kelly joining the team at Deerpark Primary School.
Primary and Early Learning and Childcare Reporting Session 2015-16
During this term you will receive your child’s end of session written report. We would like to take this opportunity to advise you the format of the report has been refreshed.
As you are aware, reporting comprises a range of activities including written reports, children presenting their learning to you, parents’ consultation meetings and on-going discussions. A working group was established earlier this session and the new ‘My Year of Learning’ document is the result of a process of consultation with a group of schools and nurseries.
We value our partnerships with families and welcome your views. As a result there will be an opportunity for all parents/carers to give feedback on the new format after the reports have been issued.
