Welcome to Term 1 (Article 28 – The right to an education)
Dear Parent/Carer
Welcome to Term 1 of Session 2025-2026.
The classes have all returned and are settled into their new routines. The Flower Show was a great success, displaying handwriting and art work from all classes.
Our Open Evening on Wednesday 10th September was well attended, where families had the opportunity to meet their child’s teacher and visit the classes. They also had fun at our Beetle Drive in the hall.
Our next Parent Council meeting will be the AGM on Monday 29th September via Microsoft Teams at 8.15pm. The link will be shared on Seesaw prior to the meeting. All are welcome to attend and we are looking to fill our Chair Person post. If interested, please join the meeting.
As always, if you have any suggestions or comments for improvements moving forward then please get in touch.
Many thanks,
Mrs Logan
Depute Head Teacher

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.

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)
