Welcome to Term 2 (Article 28 – The right to an education)
Dear Parent/Carer
Welcome to Term 2 of Session 2025-2026.
The classes have all returned and are settled into their routines.
Our Learning Conversations in October were well attended. Please contact the school office if you still require a rescheduled appointment.
Our next Parent Council meeting will be advertised on Seesaw. The AGM in September was well attended and we now have a new Chair Person, Lynsey McLean. David Young is staying on as Treasurer and Laura Young is also staying on as Secretary. We look forward to exciting events moving forward.
The Parent Council is organising a disco on Thursday 20th November in the Gateside Village Hall. Times and details for this will be out very soon but please save the date.
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.
(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)
