The young lady in the photograph above had poppped in to my office last week, to show me her wonderful work in writing. Not bad for Primary 1! Well done and keep up the good work…

Our HMIe visitors left us on Friday with a positive report. They complimented our fantastic boys and girls and all of the staff that make St Bartholomew’s a wonderful place to be. We will keep you up to date when the report is published. Thank you again to all of our supportive parents and school partners who were very complimentary about our school. It is much appreciated.

It is Catholic Eucation Week and is particularly special this year due to the centenary year of the Education Act in Scotland which brought pre existing and future Catholic schools into the public provision of education.The theme this year is serving the common good and we are asked to reflect on how we are serving the common good in our homes, schools and parishes.

Our first Parent Council meeting of the new year takes place this evening and we look forward to discussing current and potential issues that affect our school. As always, new members are welcome, please come along to contribute your views.

Dance after school club is on today and as always, please remind children to bring kits and water along with them.
