Dear Parents & Carers

We hope you have had a peaceful summer and we are looking forward to seeing the children at 9a.m. next Monday, the 16th August.

Although covid rules are relaxing a little, schools have been advised that it is not yet safe to have parents / carers in the playground or building.  We can be contacted by email or phone and will resume normal parent meetings and events as soon as we are informed that it is safe to do so.  Senior staff will continue to be at the school gate so please speak to one of them if your child needs medication in school. 

Although the children will be able to mix with their friends in the playground, we are going to continue using the school gates as follows:

P1s, P2 and P3/2 will come in / out the main gate and use the front door.

P3, P4/3, P5/4, P5, P6, P7/6 and P7 children can use either the car park gate or the St Andrews Road gate, whichever suits best for where they live.

Please continue to socially distance at the gate, wear a mask and have only one adult per family dropping off / picking up.

The children are now able to bring more things from home, including school bags, and can start to use indoor shoes again.  They can also wear gym clothes to school on their gym days and we will be in touch soon to let you know when your child has gym.  Please ensure your child is wearing school uniform of grey / black trousers or skirt and red sweatshirt. 

Please send your child to school with waterproof jacket and shoes every day as they will have outdoor playtimes and many outdoor gym times, unless the weather is unsafe.

School lunches are free for P1-P4 but cost £1.90 per day for P5-P7, unless you have a free meal entitlement.  The dining staff request that you send the correct money if possible.
