During our school assemblies we have 2 of our senior pupils who stand at the front and act as role models for the younger children, singing and signing the school song.
Anna from the primary department recently volunteered to be the signer for the primary department and here she is with Olivia and Amy learning the ropes.
Well done girls.

Many thanks to Sara Clegg and all her family and friends for the very kind donation to the school.
Sara, our Head Girl has recently celebrated her 18th birthday and decided that instead of gifts from family and friends, she wanted donations instead to be given to the school.
We were delighted to receive a cheque for £665 which will be used to buy branded sports wear for pupils taking part in sporting events, representing the school.
This was a very kind gesture fro Sarah and her family.
We hope you had a very happy birthday Sara.
Many thanks to Children’s Aid for the very generous cheque of £3,057 for school funds.
This will be used for #outdoorlearning materials, such as wellington boots, waterproof clothing and a canopy.
Thank You

Welcome back to all the children and young people after the summer break. I hope you all had an enjoyable summer although those of us that stayed in Scotland didn’t benefit from much sunshine. However it was most welcome yesterday as the pupils returned to school.
It was lovely to see so many smiling faces coming in to school this morning. Everyone looked very smart in new school uniforms showing that they are proud to be a pupil in our school. We are certainly proud of all our pupils.
We have a very exiting term ahead with many different learning experiences. Please check the website regularly for dairy dates and pictures of daily events and blogs.
Thank you for your continued support which is greatly appreciated by myself and all the staff. I look forward to meeting you all at our future events, but in the meantime do not hesitate to contact either myself or the DHTs, if there is any matter you wish to discuss with us.
