Draft Behaviour Policy

At Mearns Primary we pride ourselves on the positive ethos and behaviour of our pupils across the school. The pupils regularly have their achievements celebrated in class, at assemblies and on social media.

 

However, there are some occasions when incidents occur and we have to deal with issues in line with our school  behaviour policy. After discussions with teachers and pupils, we decided that it was time to update the policy to reflect the positive atmosphere with the school, as well as our work to embed the new school values.

 

We would appreciate if you could take a look at our draft policy http://bit.ly/2EXnof1 and then complete this online Form to share your thoughts with us.

 

The draft policy will be piloted between now and the end of the academic year. After, we will take into account all our stakeholders views and modify the draft policy with the view of full implementation from August 2018.

Cross Country

A brilliant effort by the Mearns Cross Country Teams this morning at a snowy Rouken Glen.  There were 175 runners in the girls race and about 190 in the boys race which was run over a 2.5km course.

Mearns had two teams of four pupils in each race (16 runners altogether) and everybody did a fantastic job.  Special mention to Calan  and Eilidh who were second in their races.

And a huge thank you to Mr Tyler, Mr Peebles and Mrs Hughes for their commitment to the running club.
