The Twinkly Nativity Audio Files

Hi Primary 1!

Here are your Nativity songs for you to practise for homework this week so we are all ready for your Nativity on Wednesday the 20th of December! 🙂

 Ticket reminder-please book your tickets no later than Thursday 14th December by 12pm.  This allows us to allocate extra tickets.

Reminder – Industrial Action Thursday 16th January 2023

Dear parent/carer,

Following recent industrial action by teacher unions, I am writing to inform you that the teacher unions, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA), the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) and the Association of Head Teachers and Deputes (AHDS) intend to carry out further industrial action over the national pay offer and their members plan to strike in January 2023.

The dates that will affect our school are:

Thursday 19 January 2023 (57 term-time school-based nursery classes, primary, ASN and secondary schools)

All primary, secondary and ASN schools will be closed to pupils.
All 57 term-time, school-based nursery classes will also be closed to pupils.
Please note, as above, the 23 family learning centres and 23 full-time nurseries will remain open.

I am getting in touch with you directly as the impact of the industrial action may mean that you will need to consider additional childcare arrangements over these dates.

As the school will be closed to pupils on  Thursday 19 January 2023, there will not be any school meal provision on site, and there will not be any school transport, breakfast clubs or school crossing patrols.

Families in receipt of free school meals on the basis of low income will be reimbursed via a direct payment to bank accounts or via Paypoint voucher to postal addresses which may take up to five working days.
