Well done to Primary 2 for a super assembly on Friday. Your presentation on friendship brought sunshine into the hall and left us all smiling from ear to ear!

Some parents/carers may have heard on the news a couple of weeks back about the new Pupil Equity Fund from the Scottish Government. St Bartholomew’s has been allocated a substantial amount of money for the 2016/17 financial year and I’m attending an event today, along with 300 other Head Teachers, to hear more about the equity fund and receive guidance on how the money can best be used. Watch this space!

Finally, tonight’s Parent Council has been cancelled; the next meeting will be at the end of March. Mrs Bolland, however, will be arranging a consultation with parents and carers around our new three-year plan. Please take the opportunity to give us your feedback on our aspirations for the next three years.
