Dear parent/carer

HM Inspectors from Education Scotland will be visiting us to conduct an inspection during the week commencing the 13^th May 2019.  You can find out more about inspection, from the Inspection and review documentation pages of Education Scotland’s website.

As part of the inspection, Inspectors gather the views of stakeholders via an online survey which is available from today, via the link on this email and the school website.

I would like to encourage you 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.

Please choose the link appropriate to the stage of your child(s) education:

Last week saw the launch of this year’s Youth Philanthropy Initiative project in S2: you may of heard of it as YPI.   Our pupils will be researching local social issues and charities that support them, before putting together a presentation for the school, parents and panel of judges in order to win £3000 for their chosen charity.  Over the past 2 years The Royal Voluntary Service  and Women’s Aid have been the successful charities, allowing them to directly impact local provision of their services.

The project involves interdisciplinary skills challenging pupil’s creativity, presentation and communication skills whilst giving them real life experience of philanthropy in action.
