Start of term – August 2021 

We hope that you have all had a wonderful summer holiday and have stayed safe and healthy.

We look forward to seeing our Nursery bairns and P2-P7 pupils back and welcoming our new P1s on Wednesday 18 August 2021.

 All Nursery bairns should use the main Nursery front door and P2-P7 pupils should enter through the main school front door. The P6/7 classroom fire exit door will not be used for entering or exiting the school.

Please could parents of P1 pupils drop off at P1 Playground Fire Exit, until your child is confident to travel on school transport or to walk in from the car park on their own or with siblings/friends.

P1 pupils will be accompanied by staff (and later on by P7 buddies) to the buses/car park at 3:00 pm.
