June 2014
I would like to thank everyone in the school community for the support you have given Inshes Primary over the last session. We have had a busy year with many successes within and out of school. I would like to commend our pupils for their enthusiasm for learning and excellent behaviour, making this a very special school to be in. I would also like to thank all staff members for the tremendous support they give pupils on a daily basis. At the end of a school year there are pupils and staff that are ready to move on to new ventures. Our P7 pupils are the first year group to have attended Inshes
Primary from P1 to P7, making a special mark on the history of our school. We wish them all the best for the future; please remember to come back and tell us how you get on in secondary school and beyond! We have also staff members who are going to leave us at the end of this term. Mrs Sturrock,
PSA, has been working at Inshes since the opening in 2007. Mrs Gilfillan, class teacher, will do some further studies. Our newly qualified teachers Miss McCarney and Miss Murray have passed their first year of teaching and will move on to new positions. Ms Grant has been with us since August and has worked in a variety of classes. We wish you all the best in your new jobs and adventures!
