Improving Learners Health and Wellbeing

One of our school priorities this session has been to develop a shared vision for our learners. A lot of consultation has taken place over the past 6 months and we are delighted with the outcome.

We are now looking to create a community mural at our front entrance so any visitor who has the pleasure of coming to Cuiken PS is in no doubt about the ethos we are creating here. Our art specialist, Miss Goodwin and learners will be involved in the design and creation of this mural and we would LOVE to have our grown-ups involved.   We are sure there are many creative adults within the Cuiken Family!

If you are able to help on either of the dates below please contact the school.

Wednesday 27^th March 9.30-12

Wednesday 3rd  April 9.30-12

We look forward to seeing some of you soon.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Get set… we’re taking part in The Big Pedal 2019, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling and scooting challenge that inspires pupils, staff and parents to choose two wheels for their journey to school.

The challenge runs from 25^th March to 29^th March 2019. It’s free to enter and we would love everyone to be involved.

The details

On each day of the challenge schools compete to see who can record the greatest number of pupils, staff and parents cycling or scooting to school. We’ll be competing against other schools right across the UK, and if we clock up the most bike and scooter journeys we’ll win!

Why we’re taking part

It’s a great way to get more of our pupils travelling to school on their bikes and scooters. We will be competing to become one of the UK’s top schools for two-wheeled journeys and will be in with a chance to win prizes including bike and scooter stunt shows and fantastic cycle and scooter storage.

What’s next?

All you need to do is encourage your child(ren) to cycle or scoot to school every day during the event, and join them on their way – parent and sibling journeys count too!

For more information about the event go to www.bigpedal.org.uk

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Enjoy the ride!
