Hi P1 (Shetland, Orkney and Mull Clan) Parents,

We have had a very special first week in Primary 1. We have had lots of fun and excitement across all Clans. We look forward to sharing our journey with you as we settle into Primary 1. The children have shown great resilience, ambition and confidence in their learning spaces; we are so proud of them!

Thank you to our Primary 1 Parents for supporting us and your child through this significant transition. You have been amazing!

To keep things moving forward and encouraging our P1’s to have more independence, we ask that you drop your child to the zoned area of the playground in the morning, after 8:30am. Here they will be greeted by our Pupil Support Champions. You may leave your child to play here with their friends before they enter school with their Clan Champion at 8:50am.

At the end of the day Shetland Clan will use the left side of the playground as a pick up point (nearest the wooden fence), Orkney Clan will use the middle of the playground (nearest the stairs and bench) and Mull Clan will use the right side of the playground (nearest the nursery). This allows your child to become more independent, clearly see and be able to tell/show their Clan Champion who is picking them up.

We thank you for your co-operation and support during your child’s first week of school. We are looking forward to the journey ahead!
