PE Timetable and Information
PE Times
Every week each class is timetabled for two PE sessions. Sometimes, if the weather permits, one of these sessions may be a walk around the village instead of indoor PE.
For indoor PE sessions, our pupils need to have a pair of shorts and a pair of trainers/gym shoes, that they can keep in school so that they’re always prepared for PE sessions. Please ensure all items are labelled with your child’s name.
Pupils also need to remove all jewellery before taking part in PE so please ensure earrings are removed, or that your child can remove their own earrings on PE days. It’s also preferable if long hair is tied back.
Thanks for your support with ensuring our pupils make the most of their timetabled PE sessions at school.

P1 Reminder for Wednesday
Just a wee reminder for our new P1 starts on Wednesday 20th August.
We will open the doors at 9.30am at the infant playground. Can we ask that only parents enter the playground with their child please?
A photo opportunity will be available for all pupils.
For pupils taking a school dinner, they will be asked over the next three days what they would like to eat.
The ParentPay system will generate a code for you to sign in and hopefully will be available by the end of the day on Friday.
On Wednesday, the school day will finish at 2.30pm for P1. Please enter the playground to collect your child.
Any questions please contact the school and we look forward to your child starting in Primary 1. Thank you.
