The Parent Council would like to thank everyone that came along to support our fabulous festive fayre. It really was the place to be on Saturday morning! Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen in any way and a special note of thanks to Dunbar Lyric Group for their superb carol singing. Congratulations to those who won prizes in the raffle and commiserations to those who tried hard to win those illusive bottles of wine! An amazing £1,400 has been raised which will go directly to benefit the pupils.

NPFS – The Learner Journey
Parents at National Parent Forum of Scotland (NPFS) Focus Groups and events have been telling us that they wanted more information that explained the stages and progression through Curriculum for Excellence. We are pleased that the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Michael Russell, is listening to parents and responding. The NPFS were happy to work alongside Scottish Government to produce the Learner Journey and Leaflet. It shows the commitment and determination of everyone involved to take account of the views of parents and to keep them informed. We would encourage all parents to read it and ask their teachers what it means in their school, for their child.”

Spooktacular thanks
A huge thanks to all who helped make the West Barns Halloween party such a spooktacular success. A fantastic turn out form pupils shows that it is the party to be seen at! We couldn’t do it without such an amazing Parent Council and Parent Forum and a fantastic £180 has been raised which will go to the benefit of the pupils.
