Loirston School Newsletter June 2008
Staffing Update
As you know Mrs Thom has resigned her post as Head Teacher here at Loirston School and Aberdeen City Council has begun the process of recruiting a new head teacher. The post will not be advertised until the start of the new school session. Previous experience has shown that limited interest is shown in posts advertised over the summer school holidays. Ms L. McIntosh, currently head teacher at St Machar Primary School will assume the role of Acting Head Teacher at the start of the school session and will remain in post until the new Head Teacher is appointed.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking everyone involved at Loirston School for making me feel welcome throughout my time here. I have been impressed with the hard work of staff and pupils at the school and wish you all success in the new school year.
Mrs Henley and Ms Aitken will be leaving Loirston School at the end of this term to take up new posts in other schools. I am sure you will join with me in thanking them for their hard work, dedication and commitment and to wish them all success in their new posts.

Cancellation of Nursery Trips
Posted by loirstonconnect on June 25, 2008
Dear Parents,
Nursery Trips
Due to the bad weather forecast over the next couple of days, the Morning and Afternoon Nursery Trips will have to be cancelled.
This means that Nursery will continue as normal on Thursday and Friday with the morning children attending on Thursday and Friday morning and the afternoon children attending on Thursday and Friday afternoon.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and we are sure everybody will be really disappointed.
