We are eager to show you around our fantastic new school. Hello everyone, we hope you had a wonderful, enjoyable summer. We're ecstatic to be resuming at our brand-new facility. Even though it was a close call, we will be prepared for the start of the new term on Wednesday. Despite the fact that we now have a door on Carleton Road, you should still enter through the Dalmeny Road door. Make sure you arrive on the playground at 8:55; there will be plenty of staff on hand to direct you to your new class. Here are a few images to get you in the spirit; as you can see, we've been working extremely hard to have things ready for you.
