Staffing
We have decided that for continuity for learners in P1-3, we will not be introducing a new teacher into class for two days a week. This means that we are not advertising the vacancy left by Mrs Wilson at the moment.
We delighted to announce that Mrs M Martin has been successful in securing a full time, permanent post as a Nursery Nurse at Kirkcudbright Primary School from August 2020. This is fantastic news for her but we will miss her very much. She has worked at Crossmichael Primary School for 23 years and is a valued member of the school community. We are lucky to have had her with us for so long and wish her all the best in her new post. (We’re going to enjoy our time with you until the summer holidays!!)
