Care Inspectorate Report Sgoil Araich Loch a Tuath – July 2015
Today, we held our annual pupil-led events with our Sgoil Araich, E1-2 and G1-3 classes welcoming parents to visit in the afternoon and our other classes in the evening.
The children thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to share with parents and families the learning they’ve been doing throughout this year and we’d like to thank everyone who was able to join us during both the afternoon and the evening.
We’d also like to thank our pupils and staff for all the hard work they put into preparing for this event.
This week, Sgoil Araich Loch a Tuath had a visit from the Police as part of their lrarning activites about people who help us. The visit was arranged with the help of PC Fraser. Al the children in nursery that day really enjoyed the visit.
Thank you to everyone who responded to the consultation about extending the hours at Sgoil Araich Loch a Tuath from August 2014. The considerable majority of responses were in favour of extending the hours by 10 minutes a day, five days a week. This would mean the Sgoil Araich would operate from 8.50am to 12.00pm daily from August 2014. The results of the consultation have now been passed to the Education Department for consideration and we hope to be able to confirm the proposals for our opening hours for August 2014 in the new year.
From August 2014, the hours of the Sgoil Araich will be increased from 15hrs per week to 15hrs and 50 mins. We want to find out from parents what their preferred option is for extending the hours.
1 – Start at 8.50am daily instead of 9.00am
2 – Extend one session a week to 12.50pm
