Government Consultation

As part of the Scottish Government’s drive to give children the best start in life, improve health outcomes and tackle inequality, a consultation has been opened to inform the development of an effective and proportionate Welfare Foods package for Scotland that reaches the right children at the right time, makes it easier for families to make healthier choices, improves delivery and makes best use of resources. This consultation is asking for views on how best to take forward powers to better meet the needs of children and families in Scotland. Welfare Foods includes the current UK Healthy Start Vouchers and Nursery Milk Scheme. Closing date is 28th June 2018

Generation Science -Pr. 1 and 2

Generation Science made a return visit to the school on Monday to perform their show titled Day and Night.  It was most entertaining and had the children learning in a fun an novel way all about day and night.  They will return in a few weeks to perform to the rest of our Pr. 2 pupils and to Pr. 3.  Many thanks to the PTA who are funding these wonderful workshops.
