Dear Parents and Carers

We have been notified today that HM Inspectors from Education Scotland will be visiting us to conduct an inspection during the week commencing 18^th March 2024.  This will be an inspection of the nursery and primary.  You can find out more about inspections from the Inspection and Review documentation pages of Education Scotland’s website:

https://education.gov.scot/

As part of the inspection, Inspectors gather the views of stakeholders via an online survey which is available by using the links below:

Firth Nursery

It would be really helpful if you were able to complete the survey.  Inspectors will also be meeting with groups of parents during the inspection, so to be part of that discussion you should complete the survey with additional links provided to indicate your interest in taking part.

You should complete the survey by the 8^th of March for one child or for each of your children in attendance.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Kind Regards

We are really lucky to have been supported by Cooke Aquaculture to buy a defib and a case for our school and community.

Cooke Aquaculture have created a post about their investment in us which can be found on their social media:

Cooke in the Community | Orkney School Life-Saving Device and Training

Cooke Aquaculture Scotland realises the importance of defibrillators within local communities and we were happy to help the Firth Primary School purchase one of these life-saving devices.

We were thrilled to see the Orkney school was able to get a crash course in first aid, thanks to a member of the Kirkwall Fire Service.

Mark Rendall came along to administer the first aid training with the P4/5 classes, showing them how to use the defibrillator, amongst other important skills.

The school said that they were very grateful to Cooke for the contribution, which enabled them to purchase both the device and the case for outside the school building for the use of the whole community.
