Headteacher's Welcome Message

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the website of Rattray Primary School. Some of you may already be familiar with our school, others we welcome for the first time. 

The basic aim of Rattray Primary School is to provide the best education possible for all our pupils. We are very proud of our school and the warm, positive ethos it provides. Learning is at the heart of everything we do.  We understand the importance of creating an environment which is secure, trusting, productive and happy, where our pupils can achieve their potential through learning experiences that are enjoyable and purposeful, and which take account of an individual’s needs and interests. At Rattray, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which enhances the all-round development of our pupils. We also recognise the importance of developing the qualities and skills necessary for children to cope and indeed thrive in an ever-changing world.

Rattray is a very special school with a real family feel about it.  You notice our school vision 'together we all can'.  This was developed with parents and pupils and emphasises our focus on working in partnership with parents/carers and our local community. At Rattray we strive to promote and develop our core values which are Learning, Included, Nurtured and Kind.  If you notice, the first letter of these values spell out LINK.  We work hard to help  children make links across their learning and to make sure that we, as a school link with our parent groups, our partner services and our fantastic community.

Updated Strike Information - 21st October 2024

Please find attached letter containing further information regarding Unison Strike action and impact on our school and nursery provision.
 

Letter to Parents 21 October - strike action.pdf
21-10-2024

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM PKC REGARDING PLANNED INDUSTRIAL ACTION

All primary schools and nurseries will be closed on Monday October 21 because of industrial action taken by UNISON in a national dispute over pay.

Due to the October holidays, it has not been possible, as previously indicated, to complete Risk Assessments for our primaries and ELC settings.

his means we cannot guarantee there will be enough staff to ensure pupil safety and so have taken the decision to close these settings.

The situation will be reviewed daily during the two weeks of industrial action planned by UNISON.

It is possible a small number of primary schools will be able to open later in the week. However, the situation is likely to remain fluid and may change for individual schools on a day-to-day basis. We will continue to provide updates when necessary. Schools will also email parents and carers about their arrangements on Monday.

Where schools are closed before and after school care (Breakfast Clubs, Kids Clubs and Wraparound Care) will also be closed.

Remote learning will be provided when schools are closed to pupils as teachers are not taking part in the industrial action. 

Payments will be made to families whose children are eligible Free School Meals because their families are in receipt of qualifying benefits.

We thank you for your understanding.
