Dear Parents/Carers

Welcome to Gagandeep Gora (Gagan) who has joinedPrimary 2 recently.
Rotary Primary Quiz
Five of our Primary 6/7 pupils (Chloe Ross, JJ McGhee, Hannah Watson, Evie Davies & Alexandros Mavrommatis) took part in the Rotary Primary Quiz in February. We are delighted that we came third equal this year, which was a fantastic result.
The children enjoyed themselves and did themselves, their families and their school proud. Very well done!
Dogs
Just a reminder that for health & safety reasons, dogs are not permitted in the school grounds. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
Reminder – PARKING / TURNINGVEHICLES OUTSIDE SCHOOL
Can I ask parents to refrain from using residents driveways around school to turn their cars?
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
