So much for a quiet week!

This week we had a Care Commission Inspection in the nursery, the full report will be published shortly but we are delighted with the feedback which we received on the day. A HUGE well done to Mrs Pargetar, Mrs Bowcott and Mrs Bremner. They have been working very hard.

Our Quality Improvement Officer Mr D McCartney was in every class on Monday and reported much positive comments about the teaching and learning. He is being replaced by Mrs K Craig who will be making monthly visits over the next 6 months. We look forward to working with her. Their role is to support the school and help improve our self evaluation processes, and to make an independent view of the teaching, learning and management. I see this as important to the growth and development of the school.

On Thursday night many of the staff and pupils took part in the Academy Quiz night, it was great fun, even more so since my fabulous team came second. (Robbed we were of first place. ) I was delighted to see so many pupils and parents there and the children sang Rudolph and Jingles Bells well. Santa seemed to really enjoy it. Thanks to Mr Wilks for organising the event.

Pr 3/4/5 did lovely Christmas art with the Mrs MacDonald, while Pr 1/2/3 have also made a lovely Santa scene. Pr 5/6/7 wrote persuasive letters to Santa explaining why they should get presents for Santa, they make very interesting and entertaining reading!

Next week we shall be tucking into Christmas Lunch on Thursday, orders need to be placed by Tuesday for this. Same cost as normal. That will be something to look forward to.

Kindest Regards
