Dear Parents and Carers,
You might have noticed things are a wee bit different here at Ochiltree Primary this session.
We have decided to remove the bells as part of our inclusive environment refresh. By removing 30 bells a day !!! we are hoping to create a more calming relaxed environment for all our learners.
By allowing children to filter into school we can greet them with a smile rather than the tension of lining up. We can also remove the anxiety some pupils have about being late – it happens.
The timings across the school remain the same as well as the entrance and exits, but our approach is now a bit different and more learner friendly.
We hope this will ease both you and your child into school with a smile.
