I am delighted to let you know that we have just been informed that we have secured funding of £400 from the Co-op Local Funding Scheme.  I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to place their votes as this has been paramount to the funding being awarded to us.    We are still looking at ways to best spend this award so once the decision has been made, I will let you know what use it was put towards.

Well done to our football team who yesterday played their first match of this season and won!  Scoring four goals against Caledonia they secured their first victory on the pitch.  Please join me in wishing them great fun, exemplary sportsmanship and every success in future matches this season!

C’mon the Loanhead footie team!

Have you heard the kids on the radio this week?  There’s still time to hear the last few kids chatting and telling their joke, tune in to West FM at 8.30am & 3.30pm for the school run section to hear them.

At this time I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that Mrs Halbert has announced her retirement from her post at the end of this term.  Mrs Halbert has been a valued member of our team and will be missed by the whole school community.

I am delighted to inform you that we have successfully appointed two new teachers and a Principal Teacher to our school.  I am sure you will join me in extending a warm welcome to both teachers Mr Devlin and Mrs Gilmour-McGuire and also to our new Principal Teacher Mrs Milne who will be taking up their posts at various points over the course of the next six weeks.

Please note that classes directly affected by these changes have been individually notified via a class letter this week.
