P1-7 Parent Ethos Questionnaire
Each session West Lothian issue a parent ethos survey for families to complete about your child’s school. The findings of this questionnaire, along with our school evaluations, help us to plan future improvements.
Thank you to everyone who has already taken part in the questionnaire. We would value if you could take ten minutes to complete the survey using the link below.

Stellar Writing Competition
All the children in P1-P7 created a piece of writing for the West Lothian Council Stellar Writing Competition (previously known as Young Writer of the Year).
Our Literacy Leaders had the difficult task of selecting the best piece of writing for each class, and then an overall winner for the school.
On Thursday 6th May at 2:30pm, we will have a special Star Writer Assembly to celebrate and announce those children who have been selected (the children don’t know). Parents/ carers of these children have been informed but everyone is invited to the assembly. We look forward to seeing you!
Parent Partner Meeting
The Parent Partners will hold their AGM on Thursday 30th May at 6pm. At this meeting they will discuss the constitution for our Parent Partners Group. Miss Burton will also discuss our class structure and staffing for next session.

School Handbook 2019/20
Parent/ Carer Questionnaire
Thank you to everyone who has already responded.
We continually gather the views from our parent/ carers and other partners in a range of ways. We have developed this questionnaire to enable us to seek feedback on specific areas of the life, ethos and culture of our school. We will use the feedback from this questionnaire, the West Lothian Council Ethos Survey and other feedback we have, to celebrate our positives and continue on our improvement journey.
Thank you for taking time to complete this questionnaire.
