This week (18th – 22nd November) is Anti-Bullying Week across the country. Throughout the week, the pupils will be having a variety of appropriate Health and Wellbeing lessons to look at bullying and how to beat it. The week kicked off with a House Challenge Assembly with Mr. McDermott, featuring a lively and informative quiz – with all pupils sharing great knowledge and answers.
We are also encouraging parents and carers to find out more with your children at home via Scotland’s national Anti-Bullying Service Website ‘Respectme’. Click on the following link for more information:
The school also has its own Anti-Bullying Policy. Click below to view:

Each year, the school reports on how well we are doing. We value the partnership with parents and that is why it is important to share our standards and quality report with you.
Below are two files that you can download that inform you of the progress the school has made; a summary document and the school’s full standards and quality report. If you would like anything clarified, please contact the school via the usual channels.

As part of our Health and Wellbeing learning, we are always looking for ways to support parents at home, particularly with aspects of safety. In response to a parental request, we have identified a supportive website that provides tips and strategies to help to teach your child about a range of issues including:
– Stranger Danger
– Cyberbullying
– Assertiveness for Children
The website provides a range of leaflets and links to support parents and we hope that you will find it useful.

Our fundraising efforts for the Five Sisters Zoo got off to a fantastic start today! At playtime and lunchtime a number of raffles and games were available to try and we raised the grand total of £40.40. This was an amazing achievement for our very first day of fundraising. These activities will be available tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday. Raffles will be drawn on Friday morning.
Mrs Cotterell has very kindly donated £100 to the fund on behalf of SOC-IT and the group have also bought in some reptile and animal tattoos for Friday’s big event! SOC-IT have also arranged for ‘Zoe’s Face Painting’ to come along on Friday too and Zoe has very generously donated her time for free in support of the cause. This is very much appreciated.
On Friday, as well as all the exciting reptile activities going on in the classrooms, pupils will also be able to get their face painted for £1 or a tattoo for 50p.
What a fun-filled week for a sad, but very worthy cause!
