Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
23rd August 2019
HUGE thanks for ALL of the really lovely cards and gifts that we have received as children have been leaving. This is extremely kind, generous and thoughtful and means a huge amount to all staff. I have to say that all of the emails, messages and cards have really brought a tear to my eye. The very kind words mean such a huge amount as it proves that we have achieved what we set out to do. We genuinely only really do want the very best for all of our children and families.
Best of luck to our boys and girls who have been leaving us to go to P1 and school nursery
23rd August 2019
Our school leavers really enjoyed their Graduation party and did us proud! They loved the surprise visit from the magician and confidently strutted their stuff on the red carpet in front of a very proud audience. We will miss you ALL very, very much but know that you are all ready for P1 and that each and every one of you will go far!
