Iona Celebrates its 35th Birthday – 29th April 2020
Unfortunately school is temporarily closed due to the Covid-19 outbreak therefore we have been unable to celebrate together in person – the pupils have sent us their birthday cards so we can celebrate by sharing these online! (You may notice a few sweet treats too!)

It’s always wonderful to hear from past pupils…. and we wanted to share with our school community some good news.
Ava was at Iona for just a year, completing Class 5 (our equivalent to Year 6) before venturing off to Senior School last September.
She has recently won THE SCOTTISH BOOK TRUST’S YOUNG WRITERS (5-11) AWARD. She is delighted to have won more books to read!
You can read her entry here: https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/50-…/february-2020-winners
Ava’s parents said she wouldn’t have found the confidence without Mrs Woolley giving her such encouragement to believe in herself and to find a space to be creative once again.
Well done Ava, we’re all really proud of you!!
We have made the decision to cancel our Open Morning this Thursday 19th March. Our next session will take place on Thursday 14th May from 9.30am.
Apologies for any inconvenience – this measure has been put in place to protect staff, parents, children and visitors to the school.
Staff and pupils came to school in support of Sports Relief dressed as favourite characters from their main lesson stories. We have raised a total of £131.54 from donations including those from a cake and hot chocolate sale at break time.
We continue to follow the guidance given on the government website:
https://www.gov.uk/
We are fully aware of daily updates and are beginning to put together work for pupils in the event that we do close before the Easter holidays.
Posters are up around school reminding children, staff and visitors of the importance of hand washing to prevent the spread of germs. We all need to be mindful of any symptoms to help prevent the spread of this virus. If you display any symptoms or feel unwell, please do not come in to school.
