We are absolutely delighted to share that our ETI Inspection Report has been published today - and it reflects the wonderful strengths of our whole school community.

The inspectors recognised:

✨ The high quality of teaching and learning
✨ The excellent progress children make in literacy and numeracy

P3 & P4 had a fantastic time on their school trip today as we travelled by bus to Glenpark Estate! 🚌🌧️

There was so much fun and laughter throughout the day, and the rain certainly didn’t stop us! We enjoyed exploring Den in the Glen soft play area, had a super tractor ride, toasted marshmallows, and discovered lots of fascinating animals – both live and extinct – during our visit to Prehistoric World. 🦕🚜🔥🐑

A wonderful day filled with adventure, learning and lots of happy memories! 😊
