Welcome to Term 2 (Article 28 – The right to an education)
Dear Parent/Carer
Welcome to Term 2 of Session 2026-2027.
The children have settled back into their routines seamlessly after the October break.
We would like to welcome our new Pupil Support Assistant, Miss Carruthers, to our Gateside team. She will be working in conjunction with Mrs McGowan to support learning across the school.
The Parent Council meeting will be held on Microsoft Teams this term. As soon as a date is in the diary we will let you know.
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)
