I was in and out of school all day today as I had to attend various meetings.
I was working with Mr. Robertson, Head Teacher at Calderhead High School, and some of the other Head Teachers from the cluster to look at the assessment data for maths from P7 to S6. We discussed our ideas to strengthen the links between primary and secondary in terms of maths assessment to ensure the best transition for our pupils. I will keep you informed of our progress in coming weeks.
Since I took up post at Stane Primary, I have been liaising with the local authority to try to improve the safety in and around our car park and nursery entrance. I am pleased to inform you that I have finally had confirmation that a pedestrian walkway will be created in front of the school and a new pedestrian gate with zebra crossing to allow safe passageway to the Main Entrance and Nursery will be built. This work should begin in the next couple of weeks. Thank you to our Parent Council who have assisted in getting this work approved.
After school today, lots of the staff stayed a little later than normal to help set up our Art Exhibition for tomorrow. It looks AMAZING – we hope you can join us to see the work and hopefully purchase your child’s art.
Also, for August P1 parents, don’t forget that we are taking part in the Shotts Transition workshop at Calderhead High School between 10am and 11.30am. We hope all of our parents for August 2017 can attend.
A quick reminder: school and nursery are closed on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th February to all and Wednesday 15th February for pupils.
