Please note the following road closure outside the front of our school, that will affect traffic from Wednesday 22nd – Friday 24th February 2023 which is during the half term holiday (and not from 24th Feb 2022 as in error on the letter!) :

For tickets or more information please contact Chrissie or Dougie on the telephone numbers above.

Could I take this opportunity to remind parents that we do not offer credit for school meals except in exceptional circumstances. It appears that it is becoming an increasing habit for many to pay for meals at the end of the week or even later. All meals should be paid in advance or on the day.

Payment can be made at the school office by cash or using the Weduc app using a card. Weduc also has the facility that you can set an Auto top up so as soon as your child’s balance drops below a set amount it will top it up for you from your nominated card. Any monies not used that week will roll on to the next week and with Weduc you can see exactly what your child is ordering each day.

Andy Jamieson, one of our parents who works for the Fire Service, has recently done some fire safety training for our pupils in school.  He has also offered to provide free smoke alarms through the fire service for any parents who would like one or two for your home, if you do not already have them.  If you are interested, please contact the school office to register your interest and the number you would like (usually one alarm per floor of your house).

A smoke alarm is your early warning system, which will detect and alert you to a fire in your home. A smoke alarm will give you and your family valuable time to escape. Smoke alarms should be tested weekly.  Smoke alarms should be fitted:

• To the ceiling,
• One per level of your home, and
• In circulation areas (hallways and landings) that form part of your escape route).
• According to manufacturer’s instructions.
• Smoke Alarms should be fitted at least 30 cm (12″) away from any wall or light fitting and close to the centre of the room. Care should be taken to fit them where you can hear them particularly when you are asleep.
