This competition is a fantastic way to compete against lots of other Primary students, have fun and develop numeracy/maths skills at the very same time. If your child has forgotten their details, please do get in touch with the school office as we’d be more than happy to assist.

Dress Down Day – 11th February

Dear parent/ carer,
A gentle reminder that tomorrow (Friday 11th February) is a dress down day fundraiser, we would request that children don’t wear crop tops or football strips. Any donations would be greatly received for school funds.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton

After School Sports Clubs

Now that COVID-19 guidance for schools has changed, we are excited that after school sport clubs run by Active Schools and Local Clubs will commence on week beginning 21st February and run for 6 weeks.

The clubs were allocated on a first come first saved basis. If your child has received/not received a place in an after school club they will receive a letter today (9.2.22) with further information.

P1-3 children can wear their P.E. kit to school and P4-6 children should bring their P.E. kit to change into.

Parents should collect their child at 4:05pm outside the main school entrance & office. If possible, they should also wear a mask.
