SSPCA – Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
We were delighted to have a visit from Chris from the SSPCA on Friday to both our infant and upper Get2gethers.
He told us all about the charity and what we should do if we suspect an animal is in danger. Our free pencils and stickers will be useful for reminding us of the telephone number should we ever need it!

Breakfast Club Volunteers Needed
We are very keen to get our school Breakfast Club up and running soon!

If this is something you would be keen to support us with, please fill in the contact form with your details below.
Please specify which days you would be available to help, as this will help us to create a rota when the club is established.
A PVG will be carried out and paid for by the school for those who are selected.
Many thanks for your continued support.

Remembrance Day Get2gether
We were delighted to welcome Christine Wilson and our local minister Ken Yorke to NCPS to our Friday Get2gether. They spoke to the children about special memories, including what we should remember when we see the poppy. The children were reminded that poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it. House Captains will continue to go round classes this week to collect donations for Poppy Scotland.
Pupil Leadership Groups
Primary 3/4 to Primary 7 Leadership Groups were re-established on Friday 3rd November. This year we have 5 groups:
- Communication Friendly Award
- Eco-Schools Award (6th Flag)
- Inclusive Practice Award (Gold Award – Previously known as Dyslexia Friendly Schools Award)

Ask your child which group they belong to!
