Head teacher’s report:

Key points:

  • School role as of August 2012 estimated to be 81, with nursery roll expected to be 34.
  • Staffing to remain the same.
  • New classroom nearly complete, on hold at present awaiting final parts, but will be finished by the end of term and ready for use in time for August 2012
  • Sports’ Day was a great success and many children and parents liked having it at the Pavilion. This provided more space for running events, but also helps prepare the children for sports’ events at the high school and demonstrates use of the facilities.
  • Eco Group working hard and continue to take on and meet a variety of duties. Still plans for the school to apply for a green Flag award, but this may be delayed until next year.
  • New window in the P6/7 classroom.
  • Very successful year for events and achievements and the children and staff should be congratulated for their hard work and positive involvement.

Item for next meeting: minute taking - should this be done by Council member or paid Council secretary?
