Dogs
A reminder please to request that dogs are kept on a lead if bringing them to the gates and surrounding areas at pick up and drop off times.  Please could we ask that all dogs are kept back from the school gates. This is to help keep everyone safe and also to recognise that some children and adults may be a little scared of dogs that are off the lead.  Many thanks for your help and understanding with this.

Hello everyone,

It is with great pleasure that I share the calendar of events in school and nursery for the 2024/25 session. For your ease please see attached PDF, however please note that going forward all calendar updates will be made via the electronic website calendar. These will be added to the website calendar by the end of next week.  We are so delighted that we can welcome you into school and nursery at regular points throughout the session.  I hope you find that having these dates at the start of the session helpful.  Thank you for your understanding if any dates require to be changed due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances.  If this needs to happen we will of course give you as much notice as possible.

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
