Caitlin’s referendum report has now been published and is available to view within the school. A great achievement for Caitlin also well done to the runners up. Brendan from the Sunday Mail was very impressed with all submissions and we are very grateful for their support.

Our Primary Five children begin their swimming block this coming week. I know that, as ever, their behaviour will be exemplary and I am looking forward to hearing great reports of their progress from Wishaw Baths.
