Good morning all.

At the end of what has been an absolutely hectic week, I want to say thank you to all the parents and pupils who completed surveys for HMiE or attended meetings with the inspection team. The children have been a credit to the school: they have coped well with all the changes and they have spoken confidently to the inspectors about our school and our learning. The HMiE report will be published after the summer holidays.

Well done to all the Guid Nychburris teams who have played football or netball this week, and good luck to the girls’ team who play this morning. Again they have displayed sportsmanship and resilience, coping with disappointments well. Losing on penalties is never easy. We are very proud of them all, and we hope they managed to enjoy the tournaments!  Thank you to the parents who accompanied the teams to the tournaments: we truly could not have got them there without you.

Apologies that we still have not managed to allocate classes for next session: we continue to await confirmation from the D&G staffing team.  The staff share your frustration as we do understand that many children need to be prepared for moving classes. As soon as we have confirmation, we will get these out to you.

Next week, the Guid Nychburris principals will be visiting us on Wednesday, at about twenty past 10 if you wish to join us. We hope that our Queen of the South attendant, Emma Drennan, has a wonderful week, and that the choir enjoy performing at the Night of Music on Thursday night. A few tickets left at the office if you wish to attend.
