We hope you had a nice May Day holiday weekend, some key points to help are below;
Parents eve 22/23 – During the pandemic there were steps taken in many areas to cope / develop / evolve and many of these steps are now viewed as useful in keeping for the longer term. One of the areas impacted in this way has been Parents’ Evenings. Having spent 2years using a virtual / online method, it’s important to consider views as we plan for the next school year. We appreciate there will be different views from different people / perspectives, but the information will help.

Stem Nation Award – We have been awarded the National Stem Nation Award for our awareness raising and work in STEM areas across the School. The only School in Edinburgh, so far, to achieve this. Well done to all involved and great for our youngsters to be exposed to the experiences this generates STEM Nation Award – STEM Nation (glowscotland.org.uk) .
