Over the past 25 years Keep Scotland
Beautiful has supported educators and
young people in every local authority
area across Scotland through the
international Eco-Schools programme,
with many of them proudly flying the
Green Flag to share and celebrate
their achievements. The programme
aims to take action to tackle climate
change and environmental awareness
an intrinsic part of the life and ethos of schools. It provides a framework to
engage the wider school community in climate action aligned with the
purposes of Curriculum for Excellence and Learning for Sustainability.
To complete the Green Flag journey each school has a choice of ten topics
to engage with, from climate action, to food and the environment, to litter, to
energy. The schools also choose one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals to link their Eco-Schools work to.
In September, as part of Scotland’s Climate Week, the charity will host a Climate
Action Week packed full of live lessons and activities. Schools will be invited
to pledge to join a Climate Action Schools network to help Scotland reach Net
Zero by 2045.

Fantastic Fundraisers and Good Times Ahead
We are so proud of our pupils who continue to impress us over and over again with
their kindness and compassion. During the summer holidays Primary 4 pupils Alexis
and Poppy have been fundraising for charity. Poppy has been busy making loom
bands to sell, while Alexis organised a fabulous raffle to raise money for the children’s
charity CHAS. Thank you to all the local people and businesses who donated prizes
allowing her to sell tickets and raise a fantastic £260. It’s amazing what can be done
when we have the heart to get out there and do our bit. Well done girls!
We are also proud to add to our Reading Schools Gold award, with another Gold
award from LGBT Scotland for excellent work in promoting equality and inclusion.
We hope we can continue to add to our reputation as a caring and welcoming school.
It was fantastic to welcome over 20 new pupils from different schools in August, as well
as all our new P1s. They are settling in well.
This year we look forward to the return of our house system, and the election of P7
house captains and vice captains. Assemblies are back, and we hope to have visits
out and visitors in to school. After school clubs will soon get going, hopefully concerts
will return, and the choir has been invited back to perform in Princes Square in
December.
In our learning we look forward to joining other schools in Renfrewshire to focus on
writing through the Talk for Writing programme.
There is so much to look forward to as we anticipate an exciting year ahead!
