We are delighted to share with you that due to a successful funding application to the Small Wind Farms, every child in our school will receive a 4 week block of swimming at our local swimming pool. Please see the timetable below of when your child’s class will attend.
On your child’s swimming days they must bring in a bag:
Parent helpers to support the walking to and from the pool have been arranged, however, they cannot support with the changing of any of our pupils, other than their own.
We ask that if any parents/carers of our infant classes (P1, P1/2, P2/3) wish to come to the pool to support with the changing of their OWN CHILD ONLY prior to or after the lesson is finished, please see the timings below. The class teacher will also be on hand to support with the changing of our infant classes.
Please note that there will not be any phone calls made home for missing swimming bags, as we are sure you can appreciate how busy our office is. Any child who does not have the appropriate kit will sit pool side with their class teacher during the 30 minute lesson.
A huge thank you again to the Small Wind Farms for their generous donation, we know our families will be extremely grateful of their child receiving the opportunity of lessons at no cost to them. ❤
Today we honoured Down’s Syndrome Awareness by asking everyone to come to school wearing odd socks.
We learned about what it means to have Down’s Syndrome and about what makes us all different and unique.
We are asking our families to, where possible, donate to the Down’s Syndrome Scotland charity using the link below…
To celebrate the end of term almost here, on Friday, we will be hosting a whole school FAB Friday Get Together, where we will be recognising the Wider Achievements of our pupils .
We want to hear about your child’s successes! Please bring in your certificates, medals or stories about your achievements from this past term.
To help with the programming of the morning, please complete the form below by Thursday evening to let us know what your child wishes to celebrate. We will use the names gathered on the Form to create the running order.

Monday 17 March – Financial Support for Young People aged 16+
It’s never too early to start thinking about the future and what that may hold financially for your family and the children and young people you care for. Join one of KCASS’s specialist helpline advisers for information on the financial entitlements for young people age16+ and the opportunity to ask questions.
Tuesday 18 March – Calming techniques and health rights
Practically every carer has been confronted by a situation when their child and young person doesn’t have the toolkit to regulate their emotions. Children’s Health Scotland will help explain why this might be happening, how to avoid it in the first place, and provide some practical techniques for coping with it when it does happen.
Wednesday 19 March – Blocked care and self-care
Join this workshop with a clinical psychologist to explore the occurrence of blocked care for kinship carers, and the importance of self-care. Find out what blocked care is, what it looks like, why it occurs, how it impacts relationships and parenting, and how to avoid and alleviate it with particular reference to self-care.
Friday 21 March – Education support for kinship carers
An informal opportunity to find out about the education service offered by KCASS and how their education advisors can support your family to get the most out of your child or young person’s education.
