Primary 7 children and staff are preparing for our visit to Lockerbie Manor. We are all getting excited and looking forward to a fun filled outdoor activity week. In order to ensure that it all goes smoothly could you please take the time to read the information below.
Medication All Medication has to come into school on Monday morning clearly labelled and handed over to Mrs Wright in the Mensa. An administration of medicines form must be completed. This can be downloaded from the school website or completed in school on Monday but please leave enough time to do this.
