As part of Midlothian Council’s Equipped for Learning programme, a digital device for learning is being provided to every child of school age. This is to ensure that all young people have access to the technology they need for learning, both at school and at home.

For further information on the programme, and to fill out the parental agreement form please see the links below.  The devices will not be allocated for full use until the agreements are filled out.  This is an online form.

Hi all,

The final few days of term are upon us!

PE – Monday and Wednesday.

The last three days will consist of finishing previous work/projects; a final Zoom  assembly on Wednesday; online pantos; watching the class song recordings; Christmas card making & crafts. We will prepare and organise for next term. We will tidy our trays out and send work home, if appropriate.

For obvious reasons, we are being extra vigilant with hand sanitising and room ventilation. The latter often means that windows and doors are open so children may wear extra layers or coats in class if they wish.

***School finishes on Wednesday 22nd December at 3:15 pm. Pupils resume Tuesday 11th January 2022.*** 

I hope everyone has a safe, happy and healthy time and see you all in 2022!

Miss S Brunt

💓Remembrance Assembly – Last Thursday, P7 led the Remembrance proceedings via Zoom. Every single pupil played an important part in this assembly and I have to say, it was very moving and  poignant. I am very proud of them all.  Thank you P7 and thanks to the parents who allowed their family member’s stories to be told.
