WELCOME BACK!
We hope everyone enjoyed a well earned break from school particularly after such a busy end to the school term. The HMI inspection team were full of compliments during their visit which took place in the final week of the the term and have indicated they will not be making a return visit to the school next session. They were hugely impressed with the children who were always eager to talk about their learning. This is excellent news and confirms that they have great confidence in the school to maintain it’s ongoing improvement agenda. We extend a huge thanks to all parents for their continued support of the management team and school staff as we worked to address our improvement priorities. Our final term will be a busy one as always so please check bags this week for the termly newsletter that will include dates for the term ahead.

Parents Evening
Many thanks to everyone who came along to our Parents evening last week. We hope you left feeling well informed about your child/children’s progress in learning and their application to work. A huge thank you for your contribution to our ongoing school improvement with the completion and return of our school questionnaires. Our pupils have also been busy over the last few weeks completing questionnaires and surveys to help us identify school priorities for next session. Mrs.Elliott has collated all responses and will publish the outcome of our survey. Many thanks to everyone for your very positive feedback and kind words that acknowledged the great work taking place in the school and also for taking the time to identify what we could do better to further improve our school.
Please note that Mr.O’Dowd will carry out his Parents evening when we return after the spring break.

Fish in schools
Room 15 had a great time releasing their fish into the Luggie Burn.
They have loved raising the brown trout from eggs into alevins then fry and have learned lots along the way.
Keep an eye out for our fishy friends if your passing!!
