School Priorities: Staffing:
Sarah has taken up new post as HT at Pencaitland. Mr Brian Moody is Acting HT while the recruitment process for new HT is carried out. Becca Doyle started her maternity leave Thursday 10th October and gave birth to a daughter on the 12th. Supply staff has been organised while the recruitment takes place.
STG (School Team Group): This year a new system of schools working together for the purposes of self-evaluation and school improvement has been established. Athelstaneford will work with Innerwick, Stenton and Macmerry. We held our first meeting at Stenton and the focus of that was attainment data and target setting.
SIP CAT sessions on co-operative learning, target setting and differentiation.
