PE Days
As part of the Curriculum for Excellence, children participate in two hours of physical education per week. At Stane Primary, each class will have two lessons of one hour as detailed below.
Children are required to bring appropriate gym kit: white t-shirt, black shorts and suitable indoors shoes. All jewellery must be removed for PE lessons (it is recommended that children do not wear jewellery to school on PE days)
If your child is unable to participate, please inform the class teacher in writing.

Family Focussed Primary 1 Induction Day
As a trauma-sensitive school, we understand the importance of safe and secure transitions.  We can aim to achieve this by including families in important events and milestones such as their child’s first day at school.
During our first ever family-focussed induction day, our new Primary 1 pupils had the pleasure of the company of their parents and families throughout the whole of their first morning in school.
Their new class teacher, Mr. O’Donnell, personally escorted each child and parent into the classroom and the fun shared activities were designed to be worked on together – a real example of family learning.
From these pictures of happy, smiling faces, you can see how successful the morning was.
Evaluations from our parents highlighted the success of this approach:
it helped those dreaded tears to see them in the class and make it alot easier. thanks very much for that time with my son into class.

I can only echo that. It was a fantastic start which meant the only tears were after reading the beautiful poem.
Well done and thank you.
