Our Flu immunisation day is earlier than in recent years on Monday 27th September.

NHS Scotland particularly recommend all children recieve their flu vaccine this year because.

Flu can be serious , even for healthy children.

This reduces the risk of children spreading flu to friends and family

To help prevent flu adding to the strain on NHS services, especially alongside of COVID-19 this winter

The vaccine is given in school as a painless nasal (nose) spray, by the local NHS team.

Leavers Party 2021

Leave a reply

Primary 7 had a fantastic day on Friday and the sun shone for them. They had good fun planning their day. It started off with games at Murieston Park with Mr D. We then came back to school for a movie and snacks. They all enjoyed a Dominoes Pizza in the playground. They then had a mystery surprise, which was an ice cream van in the playground. Everyone got a 99 cone. The afternoon finished off with a water fight. Poor Mrs Smith got absolutely soaked.

P1/2 Miss McDermot’s class and P2 Miss McArthur’s class completed their Roots of Empathy program with instructor Mrs Harris-Toner. Each week the children enjoyed getting to know Baby Alan and seeing how he was changing and growing. We connected with our Roots of Empathy family through wonderful photos, videos, news and voice messages sent by his mum Jordan.


The lessons gave the children an opportunity to share their feelings and experiences. The children’s especially enjoyed the art activities and thinking of their wishes for Baby Alan as he grows up. Last week the children were delighted to receive their well deserved certificates.
