Clarkston Primary School pupils, and possibly some staff, will be taking part in a Sponsored Obstacle Course next Monday and Tuesday to raise funds for our school. Many thanks for all your wonderful donations and funds raised to support our pupils. Please hand in any sponsor forms and donations to the school next week. Photographs from our event to follow.
Tuesday the 13th of September marked 100 years since the birth of Roald Dahl – the world’s number one storyteller! Miss Taylor and Base 4 pupils have been looking at a selection of Roald Dahl’s most magnificent novels and today they celebrated their learning by sharing what they have learned in class with us at assembly.
We were taken on a whirlwind tour of some of the most amazing classics such as The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and The Twits. The pupils in Base 4 entertained us with songs, dance and of course lots of whizzpopper facts…..as the BFG would say!
Non-Uniform Day
A non-uniform day in aid of school funds will be held on Thursday 22nd September. Children are invited to wear casual clothes and make a donation of £1 to the school.
It is now 10 years since the introduction of the Parental Involvement Act 2006 and the authority is revising its Parental Engagement Strategy. As part of the review NLC want to accurately comment on schools’ current and intended relationship with parents.
The recently published Education Scotland Act 2016 and the HGIOS4 both contain dedicated sections which emphasise the need for schools and parents to work effectively to enhance pupil progress and school improvement.
To that end two surveys have been created for schools and parents to reflect and comment on current practice and suggest how parental engagement might be improved.
Can I encourage yourself, as a member of your school’s Parent Council and through you the wider Parent Forum, to take some time to complete the survey as your thoughts are immensely valuable.
The link for the parent survey (via Survey Monkey) is:

Many thanks for your support
