West of Scotland Parasport Festival

One of our P4 pupils was participating at the Parasport Festival earlier today. This was a fantastic opportunity to network with local clubs and take part in lots of different activities. She had a great time and can’t wait to get back tell her class all about it and show them her Tik Tok of her day! High πŸ–οΈ

Congratulations to our Athletics Team who finished 3rd overall in the final today. The pupils gave their all in an extremely close event with only 60 points separating all four finalists. Thank you for to everyone who was able to come along and offer their support. The pupils were great ambassadors for the school #goteamjimmy or in the words of the pupils β€œno Jimmy, no party” πŸŽ‰

Sporstshall Athletics Finals

We did it! We have qualified for the Sportshall Athletics finals for the second year running. JHPS finished 3rd overall out of the 25 schools that entered. We would like to thank the Parent Funding Group for the new Athletics resourcesΒ  that allowed us to practice for the event. The finals will take place at the Ayrshire Athletics Arena on Friday the 16th of February at 10am. We would love if the parents/carers of the pupils could come along and offer their support.

Sports Leaders


We would like to highlight the success of our new Sport Leaders, which we have been piloting this session. All P7’s have had an opportunity to help deliver PE to our P1 and P2 classes. This has helped not only develop their leadership skills in areas such as communication, leading and colloborating but has also allowed them to build relationships with our younger pupils, contributing to the nurturing ethos that we promote here at JHPS & SnaCN

Sportshall Athletics Heats

Our boys football team had a blast at the Festive Futsal. We would like to thank Charlie Adams from the Grange for another well orgnaised event. All school football will now stop and we will return with the girls training on the 15th Jan and the boys on the 16th of Jan. Additionally, we would like to say goodbye to one of our young players who is moving away to South Africa πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦. He has been an amazing ambassador for our school sport and an awesome Sports Leader to our younger Pupils. Good luck on all your future endeavours! πŸ™Œ
