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.

Lost property is an ongoing concern for parents, pupils and staff. If school staff or pupils find belongings in the playground or at the end of the day they will look on labels for a name and return the item to the pupil or their class teacher.

We would be grateful if you could please ensure that all belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name so that this can happen as quickly as possible.

Any items without names will be kept in lost property so that they can be claimed. We will put any lost property on a table at the main entrance during parent interviews so that it can be claimed.

We encourage all children to be responsible for their own belongings and those of others by clearly labeling belongings, putting items in bags and trays and taking home items at the end of each day.

We’d like to take this opportunity to remind all children, parents and carers that scooters and bicycles brought to school must be stored in the bicycle park behind the blue fence.  This area cannot be locked as this is a fire exit.

We would therefore recommend that children use chains or padlocks to secure their bikes and scooters during the day.
