World Book Day

Congratulations to our World Book Day winners and thank you to everyone who dressed up and participated.

It was very hard to pick the winners amongst so many amazing costumes.

Visit to Parliament

Our CPA school councillors visited the Parliament where they had an amazing tour and workshop. The children learnt all about the Houses of Lords, the Houses of Commons and how Laws are made.

Important Reminder: Morning Drop-Off and Attendance

School starts 08:55.

  • Gate Opens 08:45

Children arriving after this time are to enter through the Dee Street office entrance and drop the children in the main hall, please make sure late register is signed in on arrival.

A Reminder to Nursery Parents

If your child is part time, please collect them at 12.00pm. The Kirmichael Road entrance will promptly close at 12.05pm. Thank you.

Attendance Reporting

All medical appointments should be made outside of school hours where possible.

If your child has a medical appointment you will need to notify the Attendance team in the office not the Class Teacher. Proof of any appointments will be requested by the Attendance Team.

Please make sure to contact school for each day that your child is absent. You can do this by calling the School or through MCAS.
