Prizegiving – Schaw Kirk Caring Award Nominations 2024

This year we will once again be celebrating the achievements of our pupils for the 2023/24 school session at our Prizegiving service in June.

One of the awards we present is the ‘Schaw Kirk Caring Award’. Nominations are sent in by parents/carers or a member of the community, where they nominate a child/pupil who has stood out for being kind/helpful/hardworking for either their family or the wider community.

If you would like to nominate a pupil, please use the link below to write the name of the child and give a brief description of why they deserve this award. Please leave your name at the end of the nomination as well.

To allow us to get our trophies sent away for engraving, please ensure any nominations are made no later than Friday 17th May 2024.

Thank you.

Parents’ Evening / Book Fair

Help us earn free books for school!

We are looking forward to welcoming you into the school for Parents’ Evening this week on Thursday 12th October 2023. You should have already received your appointment time, so if you are unaware of your time slot(s), please contact the main office.

This week we have the Scholastic Book Fair in school. Children are getting the chance to visit the Book Fair today and write down the name of a book they like. The starting price for books this year is £2. There is also a small amount of stationery on offer once again, with prices ranging from 40p to £4.

If you would like your child to purchase a book/stationery in school, they can do this between Tuesday and Friday of this week. The Book Fair will also be on display in the main hall during Parents’ Evening, so you will be able to purchase a book for your child at this point also.

Thank you.
