Parent & Carers Questionnaire – Please complete by Wed 1st April.

At Catrine PS we are always looking to constantly improve our school to ensure our pupils receive the best possible learning, teaching and support.

It would be much appreciated if you could complete the attached questionnaire – it’s only 20 multiple choice questions so it won’t take more than 5 minutes and your responses and views are very important to us.

The Candy Kings are holding a tuck shop next week from Monday-Thursday.  We will be set up in the middle hall area where the P3&4s line up.  We will be selling chocolates, sweets and crisps from 5p to 60p. Please bring small change.  Come and enjoy our tasty treats.

Try it, Taste it, Love it!

Now that Spring has sprung, in our Home Circles we talked about how lighter nights means more time outside playing with friends and family.

Our BIG questions were –

• How can we keep ourselves safe when we’re out and about?
• Where are the safe places I can play after school?
• What are the ways I can keep myself safe when I’m out playing?

Check out their awesome answers below…

The diary is now open to book an appointment for Parents’ Evening on Wednesday 1st April.

Please call the school to arrange a suitable time to come in and speak to your child’s class teacher.

Thank you
