School Closure

Further to the letter issued by Nicky Grant last week, the school will be closed to pupils on Tuesday 31^st January due to planned industrial action.

Family Reading Sessions

We had a great turn out for the first of this year’s Family reading sessions last week for Primary 1 families.  These sessions continue today with Primary 2 families invited to join us at 12.15 and Primary 3 families invited next week.

After School Clubs

Shinty and running clubs resumed this week with great attendance.  It is not too late to join either of these clubs and any pupils wishing to start should bring a completed permission form along to their first session.
