We had a lovely morning meeting some of the new children who will be attending in August.

Today we had a lovely morning welcoming the first group of children from the ECC up to the school for our ‘Numeracy’ transition morning.  The children enjoyed visiting the playground, having a picnic snack and meeting their siblings and new teachers. What a lovely morning we all had!

To all P7 parents and carers,

The meeting will be hosted by Mr McGurn (Depute Headteacher), supported by members of the Pupil Support Team who are leading the transition activities.

The meeting for Catrine PS is on Tuesday 11th May at 6.30pm.

We look forward to seeing you.  Mr McGurn, DHT

P7 Transition Meeting – Tuesday 11th May 2021 (1)

What a week – we’ve had lovely sunshine, snowy blizzards, flooded playgrounds and two days off!

1. Please note that our main pupil gate and entrance will still be out of use for next week – the crazy weather has slowed down progress so all classes will continue to enter and exit school via the Infant Gate until further notice.  Thanks for your support with this – it’s been working very well.
2. Remember the School Streets online survey for all Catrine PS parents/carers is open until midnight on Sunday 9th May.  Please take the time to have your say on whether the traffic restrictions temporarily in place around our school should be made permanent.

Have a lovely weekend.  Mrs Govans
