– Harvest Service at 9.30am in the Church. All P1-7 pupils will attend with their teacher. All parents are welcome to join us. Nursery parents can bring their child with them.
There are some great activities going on at the Forgan Arts Centre over the holidays. Click here for details.
School Photographer
The Tempest photographer will come into school on Friday 3rd November to take individual and sibling photos. As long as you have given permission for photos, all children and sibling groups will have their photo taken unless you contact us to request otherwise. If any child is reluctant on the day we won’t make them so if you feel strongly that you want the photo taken, please make sure your child knows your wishes. If you have a younger child who is not yet at our school and would like to include them in the photo, please call Lisa in the office to make an arrangement. If you have an extended family group at the school (e.g. cousins) and would like a photo of all the children, please contact Lisa to discuss – we will do this it possible. There is no obligation to buy.

Collection for Taybridgehead Foodbank
Next week we will be hosting a collection for Taybridgehead Foodbank ahead of our harvest service on Friday 6th October. Please bring any donations of food, toiletries and any other consumables to the school office and we will store the items here for collection.
Christmas Fundraisers
We have decided not to do the Christmas Card fundraiser this year as the timescale is a bit tight around the strike days and the October holiday. In stead we will be doing a school tea towel – more details to follow. We will also be selling our popular school calendar for £5 each. It will feature children’s artwork on a monthly theme rather than the self portraits as they will be on a the tea towel. You will be able to pre-order these next term to receive before the end of term. The tea towel and calendar will both make lovely Christmas gifts for friends and family members.
Violence and Aggression Statement
It is good practice for schools to have very clear expectations for all stakeholders in this very important area. Our statement is available
here and I encourage all parents to read it.
Firework Safety Competition
A competition has come into school from the SPCA. Its too tight a turn around for us to enter as a school but if your child is interested in getting involved, you can submit an individual entry as a parent.
