What We Are Up To

We have now moved the majority of our posts to ClassDojo as there are so many! There are weekly updates of what we have been up to in class, as well as school posts for all our main events.

All parents/carers should have access to ClassDojo. If you need help with the access, please let us know and we will assist.

Standards and Quality Audit March 2023

We are in the process of completing the Standards and Quality Audit 2023. The audit is developed with the children and the staff, and allows us to reflect on the progress we have made towards the School Improvement Plan over the last year, and start to plan our steps for the coming year.

A summary of the audit can be found here: Parental SQA update March 2023 The full audit can be found here, should you wish to read it: Calside Standards and Quality Report 2023

These have been emailed to parents, together with a link to the parental electronic survey. The parental survey

should only take a few minutes to complete. We will then take the responses into consideration, as we develop our improvement plans for the coming year. The audit, summary and electronic survey link can also be found on ClassDojo for ease. Thank you in advance for your continuing support.

Inter-House Quiz

At the end of a very hectic Advent period, the houses entered into Quiz Combat for the first time for 3 years! A very well-fought competition ( we will gloss over Mr Palmer’s singing, and Mr Templeton’s dancing…..)

P1-P3 Honours go to Duncan, and P4-P7 Honours go to MacAdam. Overall winners by a mere five points were Duncan. Great fun was had by all!

Nativity P3/4

Well done to P3 and P4 for putting on an amazing Christmas show for the whole school and being so confident with their lines. It was a huge audience, and it didn’t affect their performance at all!

Photos on Dojo too.

Nativity P1/2

Well done to all of the P1/2’s for putting on such a fantastic Nativity show, and for being so brave to speak in front of all of the whole school and their parents. It was a packed hall.
