1- 19th August 2011

Profuse apologies, but the delivery of new uniforms ordered last term has not happened. We are chasing up our suppliers, who have promised that the uniforms will be in tomorrow (Wednesday). The school will be open for collection all day.

Staff are back in school, working on setting up and training for the new session. Remember that because of the building works the school will reopen to pupils on THURSDAY, 18th August (most other Dundee schools are back tomorrow, Wednesday).
The demolition work is nearing completion, as is the new playground layout. Remember that there is now no access from Craigard Road past the garages; the entrance from Buttar’s Street remains, and a new gate has also been made on the path between Balgarthno Place and Buttar’s Street, with a lovely new tarmac path down into the playground. Apologies for the incovenience for those coming from the West of the area, who will have a longer walk – this is unavoidable in keeping the buidling site separate and safe. Once the new building opens there will be new entrances created at that end of the site.

A few parents have asked again about how composites are made up and how they work (the answers, in St Clement’s, are ‘with great care’ and ‘very well so far’), so I’ve attached Dundee City Council Education Department’s leaflet on composites for your information.
