Updates and edits will then be made and a more appealing format developed e.g. quotes, photographs and links to additional sources of information.

This will be our start point and we will then seek your views to develop our Communication Strategy next. This will then be an appendix to the Handbook

The Parental Engagement Strategy was launched in 2017 and aims to ensure that all Parents/Carers are encouraged and supported to engage as partners in their children’s learning, and to become involved in the life of the school.  The strategy also ensures that it can continue to build on good practice and create further opportunities for our parents and schools to work together.

There are 6 strands to the strategy and we are seeking responses to evaluate the impact of each of them.

There was an unannounced inspection by the Care Inspectorate which took place on 01 November 2022.

The key messages that were shared with us were:

• Children were supported to be confident and curious.
• Children had opportunities for outdoor play for long periods of each day.
• Staff were working on the lunch routine to make it a valuable and enjoyable time for children.
• Children were engaged in their learning and their own learning logs.
• The strategies developed to support children needed to be clearer to enable assessment and the sharing
of progress.
• Some areas of the environment needed further assessment to ensure that it provided a safe, comfy and
cosy place for children.

As always we will continue to focus on improvement and look to build on the feedback we were given. The report can be accessed on our school website.

Hello Campie Community 👋

The focus of today’s assembly was ‘What makes a successful learner?‘

We explored the skills and attributes that we need to be successful:

Miss Elgin, Miss Robson and I then went on a tour to hear about Campie’s successful learners . . .

Wow – we were impressed! Classes found it difficult to choose which new learning they wanted to share with us.  In  the discussions we had, learners were enthusiastic, motivated and shared lots of detail about what and how they had learned.

What a wonderful way to spend a morning! ⭐

Why not check out the Twitter feed to see some of the great examples of learning that were shared with us!

See below same photos of other learning  . . cakes, clavicle, clay, cooperation, caterpillar, collaboration, communication and much much more!  👍
