Composite Class Meeting

The staff at Gargieston have been working together to allocate pupils to their classes for next session. As you may be aware, our school roll is increasing significantly with a Primary 1 intake consisting of 80 children.

Next session, there will be 15 classes of which 4 are composite classes.

If your child has been placed in one of these classes, I would like to invite you to attend a short information meeting in the school at 2.45pm on Thursday, 14th June which will give you the opportunity to find out more about composite classes and ask any questions you may have.

I look forward to meeting with you.
