Out of school activities are encouraged as a means of further enriching the life of the school.\u00a0 Activities on offer depend on the expertise and availability of staff.\u00a0 Over the last few years, we have offered Digital, Basketball, Arts & Crafts, Cookery, Gardening, Choir and a range of other sports and general fitness activities. Parent volunteers are welcome to come along and share their skills or interests with the children, to support our extra-curricular programme.<\/p>\n
Each year classes are involved in an educational excursion, usually linked to their learning in Social Studies or Sciences.\u00a0 No pupil will be taken on an outing without the written permission of the parent\/guardian.\u00a0 Permission slips will be issued to parents at the start of the school year.\u00a0 These should be signed and returned to school to record parental approval or otherwise.\u00a0 Before each outing parents will be given full details of the visit and any special footwear or clothing required.<\/p>\n
Occasionally visits in the Shawhead area are undertaken spontaneously.\u00a0 These visits\/walks are in connection with the work undertaken in class and prior notice may not always be possible since the study outwith the class depends on the right weather conditions.\u00a0 Examples of such an outing includes visits to the park or post office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
