Whole School Implementation of An Inclusive Approach

All class teachers have explored the Circle Framework Checklists, this involved exploring the classroom environment and making targets for each class.

See link below for more information

Circle Framework

Pupil Support and Learning

Our working party have explored the Glasgow Motivational and Wellbeing Profile (GMWP) tool with their classes. This involves the pupils answering 20 questions around their thoughts and opinions about school. We then collate this information and we explore aspects of wellbeing we may need to explore in more detail with the pupils.

We are currently analysing this data during our working parties.

If you are interested in finding out more, please follow the link below.

Training and Support

Ten members of our staff have been working closely with our educational psychologists to carry out a novel study linked to the book, ‘The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog’. By Brice Perry and Maia Szalatavitz.

The novel study explores: Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NME) and one of the key aims is to improve staff confidence and competence in embedding NME practice within their classrooms and across the school community.

Our next step will be to carry out projects to explore the learning that has taken place.

Community and Parental Involvement and Engagement

We had our first community night this session on the 28th September.

We had the fire brigade, Captain Conker, Killie Community, Football Fun Factory, a DJ, karoke, colouring competitions, carnival games, and our Dinner Ladies put on lots of fabulous food.

It was a great night and we can not wait to do our next one.

Our Primary 6 pupils are currently going through East Ayrshire Training to become wellbeing Champions.

Period Poverty Group

Update November 2023

Isla Grant, Evie Boax and Rowan Wilson are three primary 7 girls who have joined together with members of Grange Academy and Park School to ensure Period Poverty is tackled on the Campus.

The girls wrote this letter to all staff and it was sent via email to the whole Campus.

Dear Staff

Rowan, Evie and Isla are girls in the school working together with Grange and Park school to help people in need. Our group is called the Period Poverty Group.

We are filling boxes with products and putting them where girls feel most comfortable. Those places are the girls bathroom in the pods, the sunflower room and in one of the art cupboards in the library. Each box will have a special symbol so you can clearly see this.

We also have products located in the staff toilets. We will do checks every two weeks in case they run out.

If you have any further queries contact Miss McGougan and she will let us know

Rowan, Evie and Isla

Wednesday 20th December

Rowan and Isla went on a shopping trip with Miss McGougan and Mrs McConnell. They bought a range of clothing for girls to use if they need it during their period.

The girls are looking forward to sharing everything they have bought with the rest of the school.
