Dear Parents and Carers,

The weeks continue to fly past and we find ourselves at the end of May!  As the busy term continues, there are several items to share with you in our update for this week.

Soccer 7s

The next round of the Soccer 7s Tournament takes place tomorrow morning in Broadford.  The pupils involved have been given strips today.  The teams should meet at the pitch in Broadford at 10am with water bottles, a snack and shin guards.  The tournament begins at 10.30am.  Pupils should return their strips to the School Office on Monday please.

Cross Country

Our PPS Cross Country event took place in school this morning.  It was wonderful to see so many of our pupils participating in the race!  The Isle of Skye Cross Country event is scheduled to take place at Portree High School on Tuesday 31^st May and some of our pupils will be invited to participate in this event.

Parents Appointments

Following the success of the online parents appointments earlier in the year, parents evenings will take place online again this term on Tuesday 14^th June and Wednesday 15^th June.   Parents are invited to book online appointments with class teachers using the Parent Booking system.  The booking system will open to parents from 9am on Monday 30^th May until 3.30pm on Thursday 2^nd June.  Parents can access the system by following this link:

To login you will need to enter:

School Trips

School trips will take place this year with our P1-P6 classes going out on trips on Thursday 2^nd June.  The P7 class trip is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 21^st June. Permission slips and further information about individual class trips will be issued to pupils by class teachers.

Jubilee Celebrations

A reminder the school will be closed to pupils and staff on Friday 3^rd of June to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.  As class trips are scheduled to take place on the 2^nd of June, pupils and staff will celebrate this occasion on Wednesday 1^st of June with a party afternoon.  The canteen will not serve the school meals menu that day, instead pupils will be offered a picnic lunch of sandwiches, sausage rolls, pizza and other treats.  This will be followed by an afternoon of singing and dancing. Pupils are invited to wear party clothes on this day.
