Thank you to all families who contributed a food item for our Harvest display. We have been overwhelmed by your generosity! The food items will be handed over to a representative from West Lothian Foodbank next week. Stocks at the Foodbank are at an all time low and your kind donations will be a much needed boost to supplies. Thank you to Miss Prince for ensuring that the children were in fine voice with their Harvest songs and to Russell from St Michael’s Church for his help as always.

Have a super weekend everyone!

Kind wishes,

We are very proud to announce that some of our pupils are the youngest EVER children to win a Historic Archaeological Scotland Bronze Award! All of the children in Mrs Murdoch and Mrs Doran’s class from last session received their awards today for their creativity and hard work on their Cairnpapple topic! What an achievement! Well done to everyone involved and a huge thank you to Mrs Murdoch for the contribution she made to Springfield Primary. Thank you also to Kate, from Historic Archaeological Scotland who came into school, with Mrs Murdoch, to present the awards today. What talented youngsters we have!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Thanks so much to all of the lovely parents who came along to our Focus Group today. We learned about the new West Lothian Council, Parental Engagement Framework which details the Council’s commitment to including parents in their child’s education.

Please follow this link if you would like to read the Framework:

There are also some paper copies available in our School reception.

We then wrote our thoughts on the following questions:

1. What do we want for our children?
2. What do we want for our School?
3. How do we want our School to communicate with us?

Thank you to everyone for sharing their ideas. Listening to your ‘voices’ is an extremely important priority for us.  As part of our on-going commitment to self improvement, we will try very hard to create action-points from your views and show you the impact of our work.

Please come along to our next ‘Family Learning’ event on ‘Growth Mindsets’ which will take place on Wednesday 30th November in our School Hall and will include a chance to learn with our children in their classrooms.

There will also be an opportunity for P1-3 and Nursery parents to come along to some Early Years Curriculum presentations, given by Miss Baillie- more information to follow…

Have a holiday weekend everyone!

Stay safe and be happy!
