The programme is provided to the school by Rookie Rockstars at no cost.

Our school community will have the opportunity to work with professional musicians, learn original songs and perform in their very own rock concert.

Our Inspection Report

Our Inspection Report has now been published. I am sure, like me, you will be delighted with the outcome. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for their continued hard work and dedication to ensure we are meeting the needs of our young people at Camstradden. I would also like to congratulate our wonderful pupils for their hard work. They created made such a positive impression on our visitors. I would also like to thank our families and partners for their continued support.

You will see from the report that the positive steps we are making are highlighted alongside some examples of excellent practice. You will also see our identified next steps which include a continued focus on improving attendance and late coming. As you will know this is not something we can do alone and as such it is important that families support us by ensuring that their children are in school, on time, every day. This in turn, as mentioned in our report, will help to improve attainment and ensure that pupils needs are being met.

Well done Camstradden Primary!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR FAMILIES

Dear Parent/Carer,

As you will know we are working hard at Camstradden to improve our attendance and late coming. Poor attendance is our biggest attainment gap. This means the children who do not attend school are not on track with their learning. If they were in school on time they would be more able to achieve their full potential. Please help us to support your children by ensuring your child attends school every day.

We also have large concerns surrounding the level of  late coming at Camstradden Primary. Every day we have over 30 children who are registered late for school. This number sometimes increases into the 70’s.

Late coming is detrimental to pupils learning and  is disruptive to the learning of others. Large numbers of children coming in late to school through the office also means our one member of clerical staff is unable to answer phones, processes registers, respond to emails or perform any other duties which has a negative impact in a variety of different ways. In order to improve late coming we require the support of all parents and carers to ensure children is in school on time each day. School starts at 9am and famines should ensure that pupils are in the playground and lined up before the bell sounds at 9am.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Yours

Miss Laura Davidson

Acting Head Teacher

Chinese New Year in Primary 1!

This term, Primary one have been learning about Chinese New Year.  We have been learning about Chinese symbols and what they represent.  We had a go at writing our names using Chinese symbols using fine paint brushes and black paint.  We worked alongside primary 5 to create lucky money wallets and shared a delicious snack of prawn crackers and fried rice.

Children have been enjoying exploring our new role play restaurant ‘The Golden Star’.  This links to ‘developing the young workforce’.  Children have enjoyed being the manager of the restaurant, waiter/waitress, cleaner, cashier and customer.  They have learned about handling money, communicating with others and writing orders.
