It has been an intention of mine for a good while to try to get more consistency in our school uniform. The children always look really smart, but there is a big mix of greys, blacks, navies, etc which has grown up over the years. So……………….after consulting with parents (via questionnaire and many in person), staff and pupils, attached is a statement of what our uniform is from August 2013. As always, we hope that Parents and Carers will support us in encouraging the wearing of the proper uniform.

June Letter

I’m working my way through the many responses at the moment and will issue a note of the finalised school uniform next week.

To answer a few queries about trips: almost all trips/visits/events that we get involved in are subsidised, some quite heavily, to make them more affordable. To allow us to offer this subsidy, classes, groups, the whole school, parents groups and others hold a variety of events during the year, the proceeds of which go into our school fund from which come the subsidies. These are not itemised per class or per child, but are used to benefit our whole school community. This is not Council funding, which pays for the basic running of the school. We are extremely grateful for the fantastic support which so many parents, carers, families and friends of the school give in this way, without which lots of the many learning opportunities which we give our pupils out of school and big events such as arts and theatre opportunities in school could not take place. School Fund spending is, of course, open to scrutiny – any parent/carer who wishes to be part of the group which oversees this expenditure is welcome to contact Mr Mac to volunteer.

Well done to our P4s on a fantastic show at the Rep last evening. Unfortunately no pictures were allowed, but the children and Mrs Thomson were all superb and thoroughly entertained the full house. Congratulations, too, to P6 at St Mary’s Lochee who also performed really well.
