The coming standardised assessments in schools: information for parents and carers
From August 2017, new, national standardised assessments will be introduced in all schools in Scotland. These assessments will provide an additional source of nationally consistent evidence for teachers to use when assessing children’s progress.
Parents and carers can see the details of this important new initiative by clicking here.
Volunteers, come check out the Communications Committee in January!

- proof readers for the school & PC website
- people with some time to coordinate PC newspaper content from teachers (deadline before Easter holiday)

It’s true! Real explorer Craig Mathieson’s role-model outreach programme is inviting young people to take part in an upcoming arctic trip! On their return they’ll be ambassadors to other young people, peers who can talk to them about raising their life expectations and rising to their potential.
The Broughton team is ready to go. But they need money. To this end they’ve registered with ‘Easy Fundraising’.
