Back in December, we surveyed our parents and guardians on all things 'Hart!'  We asked parents questions regarding their child; their experiences when visiting our school; and what they see the main strengths and areas for development to be in our school.  
This data was analysed in January and February and we are now pleased to provide you with the results.  Alongside the results, we have also included comments to answer any queries etc which were raised.  Please read and consider these carefully.  
As a school, we were absolutely delighted with the results of the survey and the high regard which you have for our school.  
Moving forward, we will be using this data, and many other data sources, to help steer our school for the next 3 years.
May I, on behalf of the whole school community, thank you for your contribution.

Mr A Frizzell

It is hard to believe that the new academic year is just around the corner!  I hope that everyone has had a super, restful break, and is ready to begin a new school year.  
In preparation for coming back, please be reminded of some arrangements for the new school year.   

Back to School

Pupils from P2-7 return to school on Wednesday 28th August; they will finish on this day at 12noon.  This will be the case for Thursday 29th August and Friday 30th August.  Pupils should have a healthy snack with them on these days.  There will be no school dinners on these days. 

Full school days, with school dinners, will begin on Monday 2nd September.  Arrangements for Nursery and Primary 1 children are different and have been shared separately – please contact the class teacher if you are unsure of anything. 

Meet the Teacher

This year, we are changing the format of our ‘meet the teacher event.’  On Thursday 29th August, parents are invited into school from 12:30pm to 2:30pm to go and meet their child/ren’s new teacher. Teachers will be in their rooms, with a handout regarding key information about their class, and parents are welcome to visit and collect this/meet with the teacher.  This will be an informal, drop-in event and parents are welcome to arrive at any time. 

Uniform

Please ensure that your child is in the correct school uniform for their first day. 

Our school uniform can be purchased from local suppliers including, C&G Embroidery, Jameson’s and Davidson’s. Please ensure that all items of clothing have the pupil’s name.

The uniform is the same for both boys and girls:

Round-neck/V-neck school jumper with the logo

Black tracksuit bottoms (sweatshirt material with cuffed legs)

Please note, bottoms must be plain black and should not have any branding or lines, except the school logo, if desired.

Bottoms with the school logo can be purchased from C&G Embroidery.

Yellow polo t-shirt with logo

Plain Black trainers

A staff member and a member of the public have highlighted some pupils who they have noticed crossing the road in an unsafe way.
The roads around school are very busy at home times and there are lost of things which can distract drivers.  It is vitally important that pupils do not add to this.
Please look at the following poster and discuss it with your child.

Remember, stop, look and listen!
