Church Service

It was lovely to see so many friends and family joining us today in church for our closing service. I’m sure everyone there enjoyed listening to the choir and recorders.

A huge thank you to the GFG for the secondary school ties for our Primary 7 children. It has become a wonderful tradition and one which their parents greatly appreciate too.

As you know, Beautiful Inside and Out (SCIO) was the nominated charity for the offering and we are delighted to be handing over a cheque for £320 to help fund their counselling sessions for young people. Thank you for your generosity today.

P7 Leavers’ Party

I’d just like to say a huge thank you to all the parents who put in so much work to make Friday night the success it was. The activities, food, drinks etc had so many lovely details on them – very thoughtful! Thanks also to Mr Dow for the great music.

It was wonderful to see all the children having such a good time, and their behaviour was excellent!

Two and a half days left Primary 7…

Staffing Update

Following interviews on Friday morning, I am delighted to announce that Miss Kirsty Davidson was the successful candidate and will now join our staff team on a permanent basis.  She will teach our P5/6 class next session.

We would also like to welcome Miss Katie McGrane to our staff who will teach Primary 2 next session.

I am confident that these ladies will be a fantastic addition to our staff team and am looking forward to working with them!
