Securus

We have recently been installing new security software in school. This monitors all activity on our computers and helps us to keep your children safe.

Our new office and reception area is now open. We have a new Community Room, Meeting Room and Offices, with increased security for the benefit of your children.

VLN

We are in the process of introducing a new learning platform in school. Our school's portal (VLN) will eventually give you a personalised view of information and resources relevant to you and your child/ children, therefore helping to improve communication to and from the school. This portal will also help people to collaborate more effectively using 'Interest Spaces' to share information, ideas and documents within a group.

 

When the system is fully up and running you will have access to homework and assignments that have been set by teachers through the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

 

We anticipate that it will be another two and a half years before it is fully functional. At the moment it is being trialed by our two Year Five classes so that we can iron out any issues or problems.

Local M.P. Visits School

Ian McCartney, visited school recently and was extremely impressed.  He toured the school and wished to thank the children and staff for all their hard work.  He led an assembly in which he talked about his job and work in the community and took questions from the pupils at the end.  This supported our work on community cohesion and economic awareness.

World Book Day 2010 – Early Preparations!

Following our very successful World Book Day last year, we will be celebrating it once again this year on Thursday, 4th March.  We analysed the questionnaires from parents, pupils and staff last year and have taken the responses into account during this year’s planning.  Once again, everyone is invited to dress up as a book character and there will be prizes for the best costumes. 

Details of other events will follow in a separate letter nearer the time.

Holidays in term time

As explained last term, no holidays will be authorised during term time this year. The children already get over 14 weeks holiday and missing school does impact on their learning.
