It has certainly been a very
busy start to my time as
Headteacher of Moray P.S.
but I am glad to say after
the initial trials of no
heating things have settled
down and I am becoming
more familiar each day with
the work of the school.
Parents’ Evening
Thank you to all parents/
carers who managed to
attend on these nights and
talk about the children's
learning. The feedback
cards completed by many of
you have given us helpful
information on the work of
the school. As a result of
this feedback we will be
reviewing our Homework
Policy.
