Better Off: West Lothian Anti-Poverty Strategy is West Lothian’s current approach to tackling poverty locally. The strategy was
developed in 2012 and set out a plan to address poverty over a five year period between 2012 and 2017.  As the current strategy reaches an end, it will be reviewed and refreshed to take account of the changing nature of poverty and the issues of most importance in West Lothian in the near future.

West Lothian Council are now seeking views from people living in West Lothian to help shape a new, refreshed anti-poverty strategy. If you have a moment to spare, please complete the online survey below:

November Parent Council Meeting Minutes

Euan has been chosen to represent Lothian Badminton Squad down in Newcastle this weekend. There are 6 under 12’s representing Lothian so we are extremely proud of Euan and wish him all the best of luck. Watch this space for the results….

On Friday, we had 6 lucky families, who were selected at random, come and plant a tree to create our very own apple orchard.  Each family was given a different type of apple tree and an individual plaque to commemorate this special event.

Our thanks to Hadden Construction who gifted the apple trees to the school.  We look forward to using the trees as part of the children’s outdoor learning.
