HEAD TEACHER’S WEEKLY UPDATE

📚 ANOTHER POSITIVE WEEK

A huge thank you to our Parent Council who hosted a coffee afternoon for our Primary 1 parents on Friday– it was lovely to see everyone in a relaxed and informal setting. The children have settled in so well!

It has been another positive week in our school, with pupils demonstrating:

✅ Excellent attitudes to learning
✅ Resilience and determination
✅ A commitment to achieving their very best

We are proud of the enthusiasm, effort and positivity shown across our classrooms every day.

📈 ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Regular attendance is key to success. Please read the recent letter sent out to all regarding holidays during term time and unauthorised absence. Please phone us to confirm absence please. We are here to help!

When pupils attend school every day, they benefit from:

📚 Every learning opportunity
📈 Continued progress and achievement
🌟 Greater confidence and success

Thank you to all our families for supporting good attendance and helping pupils arrive on time, ready to learn.

👔 PROUD TO WEAR OUR UNIFORM

Our school uniform remains an important part of our identity and helps to promote:

💙 Pride
🤝 Belonging
⭐ High Expectations

Thank you for your continued support in ensuring pupils wear full school uniform each day.
