Welcome to the Meigle Primary School website.

I am the Headteacher of both Meigle and Kettins Primary Schools. I have been in post since October 2019 and was permanently appointed to the position in July 2020. I take pride in the high expectations and aspirations that we have for our learners at Meigle Primary School. We encourage everyone to do their very best and provide opportunities for all to experience success in learning. We are currently revising our school values. I am ably assisted by my Principal Teacher, Mrs Fiona Tasker, together we lead the school community with enthusiasm and optimism.
I hope that you find this website useful and are able to navigate with ease to find information you may require. Please download the school app too for quick access to relevant information. We aim to work closely with our parents and wider community and communication is key.

Hurting others - update in approaches

Physically hurting others is not acceptable behaviour. We use various strategies to address this. We support restorative conversations and we work closely in partnership with our families.

At the start of the term, we decided to pilot the reintroduction of 'reflection time' after such incidents. This means that a child who has physically injured another child during a game spends 5 minutes indoors to reflect on their actions. 

Since implementing this midway through week 1, we have noticed a significant difference in how our children are playing with each other. Break times and lunch times have been far more positive. 

Thank you for your ongoing support at Meigle.
