Assembly, Stars of the Week and Friday Notices

26th Mar 2026

Assembly Highlights

Today, our talented Primary 5 pupils performed a beautiful Easter play during assembly. Their retelling of the Easter story reminded us all of the message of hope that lies at the heart of Easter.

We were delighted to welcome Anne Laughlin from Save the Children, who delivered an insightful and engaging assembly. She shared valuable information about the important work the charity carries out across the world.

Our School Council proudly presented Anne with a cheque for £450, raised through various fundraising events throughout the year.


School Council

Thank you for supporting our School Council and their recent cupcake sale. Not only did they raise funds, but they also thoroughly enjoyed taking responsibility for organising the event, decorating the cupcakes, and distributing them. Well done to everyone involved!

The School Council also organised an Easter Egg Art Competition and announced the winners. Well done to all pupils who took part!
