Free bus travel is available to all pupils aged 5 and over from 31 January 2022 and can be accessed via the National Entitlement Card.  We have been working with Customer Services as parents have a choice of applying for a new card via the school system or they can go directly to https://getyournec.scot/nec/.  If they go through the NEC website,  parents will require to validate both their identity and that of their child.
The other option is for them to apply for a National Entitlement Card  / Kidz Kard via the school.  This option assumes that both the parent’s and child’s identity has been validated and simplifies the process the parents. Please go to:
NEC Application Form 1 for pupils aged 5 to 10 years old
NEC Application Form 2 for pupils aged 11 to 15 years old

Please submit any applications before 15th June to ensure your child receives their free bus travel card before the end of term.

The children have been issued with their school photographs from Tempest today.  Orders should be placed on line by 15th June to ensure that they will be back at the school for orders to be issued before the end of term.

MR JOHN FADDES

It is with the greatest of sadness that we write to inform you of the death of our much loved previous janitor and friend, Mr John Faddes.
John was a unique character, kind, caring and always full of fun. He was  wonderful with the children and well known for his practical jokes and his infectious laugh.
John was an ardent football fan and delighted in wins for the school team as well as his beloved Talbot.
He was also a keen supporter of the school’s Eco work and donated a cup to recognise this work in the school.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with his wife and family.

We are looking forward to the Sports Day  on 8^th June ( weather permitting).  After a lovely few days, the weather forecast for Wednesday is not so good.

Should it rain on Tuesday night or on Wednesday morning the grass may be too wet to hold the event and it will be carried over to the 15^th June. Please look out for an update on Wednesday morning by 9.30 a.m. on the app.

The children will also be doing a selection of novelty races and we would be grateful if the following pupils could bring the items into school in a clearly labelled bag if possible.

P5 –hat, gloves and a scarf

P6 – pyjamas

If your child does not have these items please do not worry – they will still be able to take part in the events.

Parents wishing to spectate should line up at the front gate of the school no earlier than 10 minutes before the event starts. Please see the previous message on the app for times.

We hope this information is helpful.

Thank you for coming along this morning and sharing our Jubilee Celebration with us. It was wonderful to be back together again and it even stayed dry. We will post the video and photographs on the school blog next week.

The raffle raised the fantastic sum of £342. This money will be used to offset the cost of the Jubilee water bottles.

Thank you for your wonderful support.
