WALK TO SCHOOL

Many thanks to all the parents and children for making an extra special effort to walk/cycle/scoot to school this week.  We are very proud to be a school where very few of our children even consider getting the car to and from school. Keep it up.

CYCLE POD

We also are rewarded for promoting healthy ways to school. Today sees the arrival of the bicycle storage Pod at Lochend Campus. This was our prize for all your wonderful efforts during “The Big Pedal”.
