Welcome to Term 3 (Article 28 – The right to an education)
Dear Parent/Carer
Welcome to Term 3 of Session 2024-2025.
We have a very busy term ahead with Burns preparations, sporting tournaments, Writing Week and British Science Week.
Our Dance Club is now on Thursdays after school and Chloe is really pleased with the increased numbers. Miss Cochrane is running athletics at lunchtimes on Wednesdays for P4-7 and we still have football on offer with Mrs Cairns during lunch and playtimes. Some of the older children are planning to lead clubs during lunchtimes too. If anyone is interested or keen to run or support these, then please let Mrs Agnew or myself know.
Thank you to everyone that attended and/or supported our Daffodil Tea. We raised a whopping £500! This money will be used to cover the Summer Show expenses e.g. costumes, props, back drops, make up etc.
Our next Parent Council will be on Monday 12th May 2025 at 8.15pm via Teams. Thank you to the Parent Council for organising the Christmas hampers, raising £495! They are also in the process of organising a Colour Dash for the end of term 3 – be prepared for messy children!
If you have any suggestions or comments for improvements moving forward then please get in touch.
Many thanks,
Mrs Logan

A new NAC policy to promote smoke free school grounds can be found here. (Article 24 – Clean Environment)
Please continue to park safely at pick up and drop off times. Remember that it is against the law to park on solid white lines and against the law to leave your car running whilst stationary. Residents have raised this issue with the school on a number of occasions now so please be respectful to our environment and school community.
(Article 36 – Children have the right to be protected from harm, Article 24 – Children have the right to a clean environment, Global Goal 13- Climate Action)
Our road safety committee will be assisting in the mornings and on occasional afternoons with the help of Mrs Cairns. This, in the past, had had a positive impact and most cars visibly slowed down as they passed the school. Please inform grandparents/child minders/relatives who are picking up your children to park sensibly. Parking on the pavements increase the risk of our children being hurt crossing the road as their sight lines are considerably reduced. We would also like to discourage drivers from turning in Reek Street. Thank you for helping us keep our children safe! (Article 36)
