The Google form has now closed and we will begin to look at the responses. Thank you very much to those who completed a response to support the next steps in the Woodhead Way.


Easter Celebration

On Friday 31st March 2023, we would like to invite you into school to join us for our Easter Celebrations. The timings for these are as follows:

9.30am P1-3/4

11.15am P4-7

A booking form will be emailed via Parent Pay. Please note there will be one ticket per family available for each of the celebrations.


P4/5 and P5 Showcase

Parents and carers are invited along to our P4/5 and P5 classes on Wednesday 22nd March at 9.30am. Our children are excited to share their learning with you!

To ensure we can manage numbers safely across the two classrooms, we politely ask you to keep visitors to a maximum of two family members per pupil. We appreciate your support with this.

Our Assembly Hall will be open from 9.00am for a cup of tea or coffee before the Showcase begins. Mrs Fox, Mrs Watson and Mrs Keltie will be on hand to direct you to the correct classes at 9.30am.


Woodhead PS Netball Team

Our Netball Team were excited to take part in the first Fun 5’s competition in three years! They enjoyed competing in games with other local schools at the Jock Stein Centre on Wednesday 15th March. Thank you to Miss Miller for working with the children to prepare for the Fun 5’s.
