Well done to everyone at Firth for a super day last Wednesday when we had a visit from the head of primary schools, Peter Diamond. 

He was thoroughly impressed with how everyone was dealing with COVID procedures and praised pupils and staff for the positive and caring atmosphere and high quality learning experiences he observed in classes. 

It is good to be able to share that our risk assessments are thorough and robust and are there to keep everyone safe.

We hope you all had a super holiday and managed to enjoy the festivities.

We are starting the new year with changes and COVID restrictions, as advised by the government, in a hope to keep everyone as safe as possible at school.

School staff will be working on Wednesday the 6th of January to create a plan of action for the foreseeable future, and will inform everyone of what is happening as soon as we know.

Thank you for your patience and support over the past year and for what may be a while yet!

Best wishes and stay safe!

A huge THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK to Mrs Pottinger and Mrs Gunn, who are both leaving Firth on new adventures. 

They were both thoroughly touched by the sentiments from all the children of Firth Primary, in the big book they created as a leaving gift, and wanted to thank them and the FoFS very much.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you all so much for your support and cooperation today.

We have been informed that the pipe has now been fixed and I am delighted to share that we will be open as normal tomorrow.

For lunches tomorrow we will be having today’s lunch option (southern fried chicken and chips) with tomorrow’s pudding (cookies).

We thank you all once again for your understanding today and look forward to welcoming all our pupils back tomorrow.

Best wishes,

Emma and the Firth Staff Team

Thank you to everyone for your feedback on Term 2 Pupil Progress Reports.

It was good to try something different with the purpose of valuing all elements of the learning experiences at Firth School.

We hope it gave you an insight into what your child/children have been up to and their responses to the opportunities they have been given.

We thoroughly appreciate all the contributions to learning from all our itinerants and want to thank them for their efforts.

We had a tremendous Christmas dinner this year, even with the Covid restrictions in place.

In fact, there were many advantageous to the new dining experience, and I am fairly sure the children thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you very much to all the extra efforts from the kitchen ladies.  It was very much appreciated.

Check out the Class Blogs to see more exciting photos of our Christmas dinner.

Christmas Cards

The pupils have been busy creating Christmas card designs at school.  You can go online and buy their designs using their unique number which will be going home on Friday the 6th of November.

Orders need to be place by the 12th of November online.

You also need to let the school know you have placed an order by using Seesaw, calling or by using email.

The school can only send off designs which have an order made online, so don’t forget to let us know.

We have a copy of your label and the original design at school, so you don’t need to return anything 🙂
