It’s that time of year again when things start to feel very real for our Primary 7 pupils – the countdown to high school has officially begun, and what better way to mark this exciting chapter than with their very own leavers hoodies!
Our joint school assembly was full of proud smiles and excitement, have a look at the pictures below.
As we say goodbye to Mrs. Mullen, we want to express our deepest gratitude for everything she has done for our school community. Known fondly as the Queen of Craigshill, her retirement has been celebrated in true royal fashion—with not just one event, but a season of appreciation!
For the past five years, Mrs. Mullen has been a guiding light at Riverside and Letham PS, greeting children every morning with warmth and making everyone feel welcome and valued. She embodies our Craigshill Schools values—belonging, kindness, respect, and creativity.
Whether solving challenges with grace, spreading joy through her infectious energy, or ensuring everything runs smoothly, she has been an irreplaceable part of our team. Her dedication, positivity, and unwavering support for both staff and students will leave a lasting legacy.
Although we will miss her dearly, we know this is not goodbye—just see you soon.
Thank you, Mrs. Mullen, for being the heart of our school. You will always have a special place in our Craigshill family.
On Wednesday 12th March, our Craigshill dancers took part in the West Lothian Dance Showcase. We performed a ‘Journey through Dance’ covering a range of dance styles. Mrs Lochhead and Mrs Fallens are so proud of all of our dancers. What superstars and a great experience to be part of!
Performance details for parents/carers of the dancers will follow.
At Craigshill Primary Schools, we know how important reading is and had lots of fun celebrating World Book Day! We dressed up as our favourite book characters, made book character puppets, wrote and illustrated our own stories and participated in some fun book related quizzes. We can’t wait to get a book with our World Book Day token.
On Thursday 27th February the school and parents joined P7 for their Romans themed class assembly. P7 have chosen to learn about life in Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero this term, and decided to showcase their learning by making videos around the theme of popular TV shows. Pupils did an excellent job at being creative throughout the whole planning, performing and editing process and it was amazing to see their confidence grow as they put their assembly together. We hope you enjoy watching this extract and invite you to think about whether you think Emperor Nero was a faithful or a traitor? Watch our video here
