Vision Statement Consultation

One aspect of the School’s Improvement Plan this session was to develop a new school vision statement. In consultation with staff and pupils, we’ve drawn up a short list of possible statements. We would now like to consult with parents and establish from you which of the draft statements you’d prefer to use to convey the aspirational vision for the school in the years ahead.

The draft statements from pupils and staff:

On a journey to achievement – Air an t-slighe gu Soirbheas
Creating excellence through opportunity for all – A’ cruthachadh cothroman sonraichte le chèile
Motivated to learn
Our School, our learning, our future – Ar sgoil, ar ionnsachadh, ar teachdail
Bring out the best in Back
Be the best that you can be
Excellent learning: bright future
Be happy, be yourself, be the best

Please Note: Some suggestions above were submitting in Gaelic and English. The final choice will be published in both languages.

You can vote using the form on this letter: 096 Letter to Parents – 28.03.16

Updated Withdrawal Form

Following feedback from parents, we have updated and made changes to the form used to notify the school of intentions to withdraw children for planned short periods for holidays, family events, sports participation etc.

The form now includes guidance notes for parents that include information about the process and how such absences are categorised. The revised form has been added to the ‘School Forms’ page of the website and can also be downloaded using the link below.

G1-2 Sponsored Walk and Silence

G1-2 did a water focused topic at the beginning of Term 3.  The children suggested giving money to children in deprived countries who don’t have clean water to drink.  As a class we decided to do a sponsored walk and silence to raise money for UNICEF.  The children walked 2.2 miles this morning and then participated in a silence for 1 hour 20 mins!! Didn’t they do well! Some parents joined us for the walk and Finlay’s dad drove the support car for us.  We are overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity…..we have raised almost £600!!!

We started at the school!

SCHOOL CLOSED – Monday 1st February

CnES has confirmed all schools in the Western Isles will be closed to pupils on Monday 1st February due to the current forecast for strong winds as Storm Henry approaches. Staff should report to school as normal. We would advise that parents continue to check our website and social media accounts for the latest information, particularly in relation to circumstances for Tuesday morning.

Bingo Night

Well done and thanks to the Parent Council for organising a very successful Bingo Night in the school on Friday 13th November. They raised the fantastic amount of £863, which will all go towards the school funds.  Thanks to all parents, families and local businesses who donated so generously to the prizes won on the night.  It was nice to see so many out for a fun evening of entertainment.

Heads down at the Bingo.
