Children not attending the breakfast club must remain in the school yard until told to come in after 8.45. (inclement weather).

An adult presence is provided in the playgrounds from 8.45, under the terms of “Schools Safety and Supervision of Pupils Scotland” Regulations 1990.

Children should be brought to the door at the back of the school on inclement mornings and put into school. (Not before 8.45).
No adult should enter the school by this entrance at this time.

If you wish to speak to a teacher or a member of the management team, please make an appointment at the school office, via the front door.

During the School Day

When the weather is suitable, children from all classes go outside to play.
When children are in the school yard at morning intervals and lunchtimes, they are accompanied by our Support for Learning Workers, in high-viz coats, and our janitor, Mr Bryson.

Our “adult presence” in the yard at break times is made up of six or seven adults, all easily identifiable by their dayglow coats/waistcoats. These adults are there to engage with the children in conversation and play. No matter where your child is in our playground, he/she will always have an easily identifiable adult close by. Children remain indoors if it is very wet or very slippery underfoot.

The school security system electronically covers all entrances and exits. All visitors sign the Visitors’ Book on entering the building. Two internal security doors in the front entrance hallway further enhance the safety and security of all in the building.
