Projected Roll for August 2020
We have capacity for 75 pupils in school and our projected roll for August 2020 is 83 pupils. We need to think creatively about how to accommodate these additional catchment pupils.
I will be discussing some options at the Parent Council Meeting tomorrow evening (7pm on Tuesday 3rd March in Crossmichael Primary School). It would be really useful if you could attend or provide your ideas by emailing the school office on gw08officecrossmicha@ea.dumgal.sch.uk .

Primary 4 Curricular Swimming
Primary 4 pupils will be attending swimming lessons every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 17th March until 2nd April. Transport is provided.
Bikeability Training
Every year we provide training for our P7 pupils so that they are safely able to ride their bicycles on the road. A tutor is able to deliver training for parents to enable them to become ‘Bikeability’ instructors. The tutor will also come to the school and work alongside parents until they feel confidently able to work with small groups of pupils. The more parents who are willing to participate in this, the safer our children will be on the roads.
We really need to train up a new cohort of parents. Please see the attached letter for more information.
