Please see below information received from Early Years’
“Applications for admission to early years establishments and nurseries cannot be commenced due to a legal challenge which prevents the council from concluding the framework with early years and nursery suppliers. The web page will be updated with information on applications for 2023/24 once this legal challenge is resolved”.

Dear Parent/ Carer
Re: Refurbishment of pupil toilets
I have received notification that the planned refurbishment of the pupil toilets will begin on Monday the 16th of January 2023.
The works will start with the upper school boys and girls toilets before moving to the infant toilets. The works will take approximately 10 weeks.
There will be no disruption to the children’s education during this time with alternative toileting arrangements in place. The children of P5/4, P3 and P7/6 during this work will use the door of the P5, P4 class and P6/5 class respectively as their entry and exit point whilst the upper school toilets are being refurbished.
There is such a lot happening to our school just now but, hopefully, by the end of all of the improvements we will have a school to be proud of.
Once again, I thank everyone in our school and nursery community for their support and understanding whilst these works go on.
Yours sincerely,
Siobhan Alston
Acting Head Teacher

Please see letter below regarding the new teacher in P3/2
January 2023
Dear Parent/ Carer
Re: Teacher for P3/2
Firstly, let me wish you all a very Happy New Year on the behalf of our Westfield staff.
Miss King started her maternity leave on the 19th of December just prior to the Christmas break. I had been informed by the authority that we would have a teacher immediately to cover her class. However, this offer was withdrawn and it was not until very late in the week that I was given news that Miss Holly Reid would be taking over.
This has now happened and Miss Reid came into school on the final day to meet the children and familiarise herself with the age, stage and themes the class had been following. We are delighted to welcome her to our team and know you too will make her most welcome.
Finally, I am pleased to share Miss King’s good news in that she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on the 23rd of December. We wish mum and baby well and are looking forward to meeting the little one soon.
Yours sincerely
