Cristina Press will return from maternity to P2/3 on May 30th, Jude Attwood’s contract will end.
We have 2 temporary SLA posts currently, one for 15 hours exceptional needs and one full time for the refurbishment.
School Roll
We have 30 P1 enrolments with 5 placing requests out. Class arrangements are not finalised yet. We may have 7 classes next session.

Refurbishment update
Phase 2a is going well, phase 2b will start shortly. Moving week should be the week beginning 14th February – this still has to be confirmed.
Use of the Community Centre is working well.
Haddens ran a safety competition for the pupils and donated £100 to the school. The winning posters are displayed in the foyer and other entries will be displayed around the school.
Literacy week
We have set up a partnership with Waterstone’s who are arranging author visits for every class, free of charge. The school will try to set up a savings club for children to purchase books from Waterstone’s when they visit the school.
Grounds
We are in the process of trying to secure some funding for the grounds project.
Credit Union
Councillor MacPherson is concerned that the pupils are not using the credit union much; we will invite someone from the credit union to talk to the pupils at an assembly.
School Improvement Plan parent focus group
The school will send out a questionnaire for parents and will collate the findings before the next Parent Council meeting so that the findings can be discussed.
Adverse weather
The Council will not be closing all schools across the authority in adverse weather conditions; decisions will be made at a local level. The school will look at setting up a texting service for parents.
Diary dates
Royal wedding will be a school holiday – 29th April.
