The School Council recently held a competition, inviting P5 and P6 pupils to design a picture to be displayed on the afternoon or evening tickets.  P7 pupils were given the chance to have their drawing on the cover of the programme.  The name of the concert is “The Greatest Gift of All” and this provided the inspiration for the designs.

There was a lot of interest in this competition and the School Council enjoyed carefully looking at each design and judging the winners.

The winner for P5 was Gilia Li (P5M) and her drawing will be displayed on the afternoon ticket.

 

The winner for P6 was Daniel Parkinson (P6B) and his drawing will be displayed on the evening ticket.

 

The winner of the P7 section was Lauren Millar (P7M) and her drawing will appear on the cover of the programme.

The School Council would like to thank all the children who entered the competition and well done to the winners! 

The winners received a selection box and are thrilled to have their fantastic art work on display very soon.
 

The published report from our recent school inspection is now available to view or download from the ETI website (www.etini.gov.uk) or from the 'Notes' section of this website.  The original date for publication of the report was 4th December but it has been made available earlier than we expected. 

 

We are absolutely delighted with the report which we feel is a true reflection of our school and that the hard work and commitment of all the staff and governors has been recognised, along with the children's achievements, standards and exemplary behaviour.

Your child has received a copy of the Christmas 2015 leaflet along with a note giving details of how to order.  If you are planning to do any Christmas shopping for books, this is the ideal opportunity.  We would encourage you to order online and have set up a school group order which you can access by using -
