Our wonderful nursery teacher, Mrs Carruthers, had the fantastic idea of holding an Deferment Information Event for our parents of children with birthdays in November to February. Mrs Carruthers, Mrs Abraham (Educational Visitor) and Mrs Anderson (Principal Teacher) talked about the deferment process.

Mrs Smith (new P1 mummy) spoke about her decision to keep her options open for her daughter. She applied for deferment and enrolled for P1 to give her longer to make a final decision. Her daughter is now in P1.

Ms Shearer (new P1 mummy) spoke of how pleased she was with her decision to defer her son last year. She felt that a further year at nursery helped prepare him for a successful start to P1.

We had a 17 year old who talked about how she wished her mum had sent her to school later because she had always felt very young among her friends.

We were able to answer questions and allay any concerns our parents had.

All that, plus Mrs Carruthers had baked scones and carrot cake!

Thank you to everyone who attended. As always, come and talk if you have any questions.
