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.

Nursery Digital week and Pop in and Play

This week at nursery it has been Digital Week

“I was seeing what everyone was doing. I like using the computer and the iPad” Lucy.

During digital week the children have been taking turns to use the iPad to record their learning. The children have had fun using the  iPad’s, the laptop, Smartboard and the light board.

Pop in and Play

It was lovely again to share our learning with our friends and family this week. We have had mum and dads, Grans and sister and brothers come into our nursery to visit us this week.

We even had 2 new children join the nursery for our story about Kipper

Sun Cream

As we are lucky to currently have such beautiful weather can we please offer you a few gentle reminders about sun cream:

  • Parents/ carers should apply sun cream before their child arrives at school.
  • Parents/ carers should provide their own sun cream for each child clearly labelled with their name and class. Children can then apply this cream during the day if required.

Long may the sunshine continue!

Pumphie Pals Self Evaluation

We started our session by playing a community builder and some of the pre-school children from our nursery joined us, as part of their transition.

On Friday our Pumphie Pals groups used How Good is OUR Good to self evaluation our improvements journey. Each group had one of the areas to evaluate:

  • Our relationships
  • Our learning and teaching
  • Our school and community
  • Our health and wellbeing
  • Our success and achievements

The groups sorted statements into agree, not sure and disagree.
