Miss Cameron informed the children last week that she am retiring from her post as Head Teacher at Coupar Angus Primary School from 16 August 2015.
She said “I have really enjoyed my time at Coupar Angus and have seen many changes. It has been a privilege to work with such wonderful children and staff in such a supportive, inclusive local community. My post has been advertised and the Local Authority is confident they will appoint a new Head Teacher very soon.”

Living Communities and Coupar Angus Primary School have been working together for several years, exploring the rich heritage of Coupar Angus.
A Young Heritage Ambassadors group has recently been formed to develop these interests further, and participants will be working towards achieving a Dynamic Youth Award.
Dynamic Youth Awards are peer assessed awards recognising the contributions and achievements of young people in the 10 to 14 age group, externally verified and accredited by ASDAN. As well as learning about local heritage, the Young Heritage Ambassadors develop skills such as interviewing, research and speaking in public.
Read more about the work the Heritage Ambassadors have been carrying out here.
Find a list of fun activities and childcare for children, young people and families over the Easter holidays on the Perth & Kinross Council website.
On 19 March, two assessors from UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools Award visited our school. They talked to staff, children, parents and community partners about the work we do, I am delighted to inform you that they were very impressed with the children, our vision and values based on respect for self, others and the environment, the involvement of children in decision making and our willingness to take action on local and global issues. They are recommending that we move from Level 1 up to Level 2 Rights Respecting Schools Award.
I would like to thank everybody for their hard work and in particular Mrs McCulloch and the children in the Rights Respecting Vertical Group.
M R Cameron | Headteacher
