returned to school
Mrs R finishes on 10/2

hrs respectively.
- Infant playground : Money N Langhorn secured has been spent (Gus
Egan used it for planters in the infant playground). There is still a freeze on playground spending the
money is still there for future. P1 & P2 are allowed in the woodland but not to
climb trees so all the playground is used. All PSAs are out to supervise play time.

Wednesday.
- School dinners : not many muddles, there has
been some improvement in quality.
Still an issue with transport and which then effects
the quality of the meals
- RL presented National Improvement Framework
(NIF) handout.
NIF priorities – closing the gap, literacy, numeracy,
HWB, employability and positive destinations. School Improvement Plan in line with NIF – STEM
family learning, restorative approaches and
building resilience, developing employability and
careers education. Parentzone website shows generally banded
results for P1, 4, and 7 based on standardised
assessments and teacher judgment. Possible to
only look at one school at a time. Care needs to be
taken with sharing this information as it needs to
be put in to context.
RL would like to know how best to share all this
information with parents.
Actions: - RL to raise issue of opening
kitchen in Ratho with Debbie
Brown (Facilities Manager)
before approaching asset
management.

involved in this group

for next year, eg setting a flat rate for external stalls
