I was in and out of school all day today as I had to attend various meetings.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0We\u00a0discussed our ideas to strengthen\u00a0the links between primary and secondary in terms of maths assessment to ensure the best transition for our pupils. \u00a0I will keep you informed of our progress in coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Since I took up post at Stane Primary, I have been liaising with the local authority to try\u00a0to improve the safety in and around our car park and nursery entrance. \u00a0I 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\u00a0with 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\u00a0assisted in getting this work approved.<\/p>\n

After school today, lots of the staff stayed a little later than normal to help set up our Art Exhibition for tomorrow. \u00a0It looks AMAZING – we hope you can join us to see the work and hopefully purchase your child’s art.<\/p>\n
