Our Netherlee Apple Tree

We’d really love to see photos of what you made at home as these can then be used in one of our floor books. Thank you.

Please don’t worry, we’ll soon have it staked up and growing happily again soon. Continue reading

Pupil/ Building Safety
Unless your child is in Primary 1, please drop all children at the various gates at drop off or collection.  Parents/ carers are not permitted within the playgrounds and this includes avoiding using the playground as a walkthrough in order to get to a different gate.  This is to ensure the safety of all children and also maintain the security of the building at all times.  Members of the Leadership Team are on all gates from 8.50am and again at the end of the day. At collection time only, at 3.15pm, parents and carers of P2 and P3 children may come to the Clarkston Road door to collect your child/ren and also any siblings from the Smiley Face. The gate to access the Smiley Face will be unlocked at this time. Thank you very much for your cooperation with this important safety point.  Continue reading
