John Fergus School

Our vision is to be a vibrant, fun, safe place where we support each child and their family, so they can reach their full potential.

I am incredibly proud to announce that JFS has achieved accredited How Nurturing Is our School status. I am told we are the first school in Fife to achieve this. The award is for the huge efforts of the whole team; children, families, staff & partners. #teamjfs #nurturing #proud

Hey @comicrelief all things red were on our minds in our wee special school today - red clothes, red food, red painting! 🔴 We raised £75 to help others. 🙌🏻🎉

Well, it has been a long time, but we have finally got our feed back up and running! 🎉 And what a post to start with… One of our pupils and a PSA leading workshops at the Kitbag Festival today, sharing out Kitbag story. 👏🏻 We are so very proud of them both! #teamjfs #kitbags

JFS Open Week - watch out for us sharing our work in Numeracy, Expressive Arts and Outdoor Learning on our Facebook page every day this week. When you can’t come to us, we’ll come to you! #teamjfs #numeracy #arts #outdoorlearning

Quote of the Week. A new term today seems strange without us actually going physically back to school, but our wee schoool community made a great start to working together before the holidays and we are looking forward to re-connecting with everyone. #teamJFS #stayhome #staysafe

[John Fergus School @JohnFergusSE]

The end of term is a strange concept in these times, but JFS staff are mostly taking a break for now. We will still be around and families can contact us as outlined in today’s emails. The JFS Easter Bunny wishes you all safe and well. #teamJFS #inthistogether #staysafE #stayhome

Nothing we all like better than a wee dance at JFS, so every Friday, why not join in our JFS Dance-a-long!! Class 1 team have started us off, over to Class2 team for next Friday! #teamJFS #JFSdancealong #inthistogether #lovetodance #staysafe #hanginthereparents

JFS parents, I spoke to most of you today, so you should be aware of the situation if you are a key worker. I hope to have confirmation of what we can offer for you by the end of tomorrow.

[Carrie Lindsay @carrielnds]

Information on our Children’s Activity Centres for key worker’s children will be sent out on Monday. Hoping to start as early next week as we can manage. We are trying to ensure a model for the longer term that meets the needs of our young people.

Quote of the Week. This seems apt in the current circumstances. As with all schools, we are keeping a level head and following all advice given. Staff are doing lots of work, planning and organising for all eventualities should things change in the coming days and weeks.

Today was World Book Day, so we got together and shared one of our favourite books. #welovestories

[John Fergus School @JohnFergusSE]

Class 4 pupils took orders for personalised pizzas today! Even cleared up afterwards! #skillsforlearninglifeandwork #DYW

[John Fergus School @JohnFergusSE]

Class 4 learned all about working on an oil rig today from one of our dads. Don’t they look just the part?

Another successful staff Skills Club tonight brushing up on @BookCreatorApp and @HelpKidzLearn Choose It Maker 3 in order to help support pupil learning #CollaborativePractice #DigitalLearning

Nothing we love more at JFS than a bit of a dance! Here we are doing the Gay Gordon’s at our Burns Supper this afternoon! #weeburl

Another fabulous panto from @MandMTheatrical We thoroughly enjoyed joining Dick Whittington on his adventure. Huge thanks also to @HappyDays_UK for awarding us the grant for this, allowing our pupils and our friends from our local ASN classes to have a real theatrical experience.
