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.

Any questions please contact the school and we look forward to your child starting in Primary 1. Thank you.

Home Circles @ June
In our Home Circles today we focused on Article 24 of the UNCRC which states that ‘every child has the right to the best possbile health’.
Our BIG questions today were …
What health services are available to you, both in school and as a family? Who helps us when we are feeling ill or in pain?
What can we do, as a school community and with our families, to keep ourselves healthy and fit?
Check out our awesome answers below 🙂
