Hello and welcome to our Family Learning Blog. My name is Mrs Mc Fadden and I lead family learning in our school along with all the other teachers.

I’m dedicating this section to parents and pupils who are starting primary 1 in August. Normally I would see you in person however sadly visits may be limited this year so I’m hoping I can give you as much information as you need here. You will be sent a link to this blog every time I update it with new information. I hope you find it useful and please comment on posts, ask questions and feel free to  email me any time.
