Hello,
A massive thank you to everyone in the school community who donated to our appeal for items for the local food bank. Well done to our S6 pupils who collected all the items this morning and thanks to Action for Children for collecting our donation. I am sure that the donations you have all made will be welcomed by local families this Christmas
Hello,
Just a quick reminder that it is Wear Something Christmassy Day tomorrow the 10th of December. As part of our Non-Uniform Day we are making donations to the local food bank. We are asking that pupils and staff bring in a food item such as tinned food (beans, veg, soup) , pasta, biscuits, or any other food donations. Pupils should drop off their donation at the stations as they enter the school tomorrow.
S6 pupils will also be selling the stock they have left from the local Christmas light switch on which includes hot chocolate cones and cards.
Hello,
If your child is having to work from home for any reason the national e-learning offer can support their learning at home. Resources can be accessed via the website using a glow login.

for Pudsey, guess how many miles cycled over the day and guess the bears birthday. A big well done to Mr Pagan who cycled 1.79KM (1.11miles) and Archie in S4 who won the overall competition by cycling 1.89KM (1.17miles). Well done to Mrs Taylor who won the bear guessing it’s birthday as 22nd of July and the teddy’s birthday being 26th of July. Also to Tyana who guessed 50miles and the total miles cycled was 49miles. A big thank you again and thanks to everyone who has contributed, it has been a fantastic day!
One lucky person can win a vintage Paris Saint Germain football jersey tomorrow. Raffle tickets will be 50p or 30p if you can impress Mrs Smith with your knowledge of French! To get a ticket see Mrs Smith or buy a ticket at lunchtime in the Hall. All money donated will go to CHILDREN in NEED!
Just a reminder that for Children In Need we are asking you come into school in non uniform and ask for a donation of £1. We will come round and collect these donations. There will also be a pedal for Pudsey activity which will go on throughout the day where you pay a small amount of 50p to get the chance to pedal as many miles as possible in 2 minutes on the pedal bike. Along with that you will also be able to guess how many miles altogether have been cycled throughout the day. The winners of each activity will receive a prize.
Thank you
Jill and Geddes
On Remembrance Day pupils arranged an assembly for all learners, followed by a 2 minute silence at 11am. Leisel, Archie and Molly presented and incorporated stories about their family members who have represented the forces around the world. Rowan and Megan played a beautiful rendition of ‘Tears in Heaven’ by Eric Clapton on the acoustic guitar. Our thanks to Ms Moodie, Mr Gibb and all pupils involved for leading us in a very moving and poignant assembly.

Hi Everyone,
Myself and Jill would like to thank everyone for their kind contributions to Friday’s Halloween activities afternoon. We would like to thank Burnside who very kindly donated sweets for our very popular sweetie cones. We would also like to thank Mr Coleman who has helped us with the crafty side of our fundraising, our fellow S6 students who worked hard beside us to keep the morale up and Matthew who has helped us set up the hall for a spooktacular afternoon! The afternoon was a success and we have raised a grand total of £184.14 which will be added to our Senior Prom savings. We would like to congratulate Gabrielle who won our guess how many lollipops are in the Jar with her guess being 145 and the amount in the jar being 144. Thanks again for all your contributions it means a lot, it was also great to see you have a great time!
