March 17, 2025 Mrs Milne Leave a comment

Early Closure Easter 2025 Transport Update

The Easter school closure on Friday 04th April 2025 whereby all schools close at 2.30pm will no doubt have an impact on pupils who access school transport. We have many linked contracts that serve both primary pupils as well as secondary pupils across both mainstream and ASN schools.

To ensure efficient transport provision on this date and to ease congestion, all contractors will arrange to collect primary children at 2pm and secondary pupils thereafter at around 2.30pm.

Amazing! Thank you to all of the children, parent/carers and local businesses who helped them to raise this phenomenal amount. We very much appreciate your support.

Now they are just having to work out what to spend it on!

PE Kit Letter

February 24, 2025 Mrs Milne Leave a comment

Dear Parent/Carer

We have noticed that there has been a lot of children forgetting to bring PE kit to school on their PE days. This results in children being unable to take part and having to sit at the side. Could you please read the attached letter and ensure that your child brings a PE kit to school on the days allocated to their class.

Thank You

Girl’s Football Team Success

January 30, 2025 Mrs Milne 1 Comment

Galston Girl’s Football Team

The girls football team played in their first series of games yesterday and we are very proud of them. They were excellent representatives who never stopped trying in all three of the games played. They encouraged each other and even before winning had smiles just because they were playing football together. Well done girls!
