Children in Need 2022 – Well done to everyone for supporting this worthwhile cause.

Dunvegan Community Trust Funding

We are delighted to let you all know that we have been awarded £5,000 from Dunvegan Community Trust. This will help pay for school trips throughout the year, including the continued part payment for each P7 to go on the Raasay residential trip. The money will also be used to pay for the set up and daily use of breakfast club that we have started. We really are so grateful to DCT for this money.

We are delighted that our wonderful Parent Council are organising a Christmas Fayre this year. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Exciting news, movie afternoon on Friday 7th October – the Pupil council are raising money for new playground bins.

Please remember we are a NUT FREE school & sgoil araich

New Benches

Gregory Francis was tasked with building us some Skye weather proof benches to sit at the top of the school orchard, for the children to come and sit and enjoy watching our orchard grow for years to come. They are a fantastic addition to our wonderful playground and will be with us for years to come.
