Staffing<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 This means that we are not advertising the vacancy left by Mrs Wilson at the moment.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0This is fantastic news for her but we will miss her very much. \u00a0She has worked at Crossmichael Primary School for 23 years and is a valued member of the school community.\u00a0 We are lucky to have had her with us for so long and wish her all the best in her new post.\u00a0 (We\u2019re going to enjoy our time with you until the summer holidays!!)<\/p>\n
