Dress Down Day Thursday 28th March - Hamper Donations

Children can dress down on Thursday 28th March. No monetary donation is required but we are asking for donations of items in the colour of your child’s house if possible. These can be food items, toiletries, toys or anything packaged in the relevant colours!  Most siblings are in the same house so families with more than one child can send in a donation per family.

These will be used to create coloured hampers for raffle at our Spring Tea event on Friday 26th April (more details to follow).

Please see the attached poster for more information.

Head Teacher Extended Leave

Good Morning

Please find attached a letter from Jacqueline Wallace (Head of Education Primary and Early Years) which explains that I will be taken a period of extended leave at the end of this term.

Early in the Spring, I will be welcoming a new addition to my family as I am adopting a wee daughter!

I want to reassure families that ‘I will be back’ once the little one has settled. I know the school is in very good hands with Mrs Lianne Purdie who will come in before the end of term to mee the children and staff.

I will be sharing my news with the children later today.


Kindest regards
Kirstine McDonlad
(Head Teacher)
