Reading Leaders
This year we are excited to be taking part in the Reading Schools Accreditation Award by the Scottish Book Trust.
We have a group of Reading Leaders made up of pupils and staff who will be helping to build and sustain a positive reading culture across the school community. We have submitted our Action Plan, which has been accepted and hope to achieve our Silver Level accreditation by the end of the school session.
Our first focus is to gather the views of both pupils and staff through the completion of surveys. Any information from these will be used to inform our next steps.
We are also fortunate to have a budget which we will use to improve the school’s central library, class libraries and other reading resources.
We will be keeping our school community updated with our plans via letters and social media so keep a look out for updates!

Junior Road Safety Officer (JRSO)
Junior Road Safety Officers are appointed each year. In September they attend a South Lanarkshire information event about their role.. Once back in school the Junior Road Safety Officers contribute to the school's Health & Wellbeing curriculum by promoting Road Safety issues. They organise competitions, present Road Safety information at Assemblies, assist in learning situations eg by reading Road Safety stories to younger children, and from time to time monitor safe parking around our school.

Health Committee
Our Health Committee will be promoting and highlighting relevant HWB issues within diet, fitness and mental health.
The first focus for our committee will be on anti-bullying and for the second half of the school year, we intend to plan and host a health week. Contributions and direction for both of these important and topical subjects will be from the children of the HWB committee themselves.

Eco Committee
In the Eco Committee, we are passionate about making our school a more sustainable and environmentally friendly place to be. We have created an action plan for the year which includes designing and building scarecrows, regular litter picks and recycling, and developing our playground environment. Our Committee will lead these interventions with the support and input of all children in the school, helping us to keep our ‘Green Flag’ status.

Rights Respecting School Committee
James Aiton Primary School achieved the Bronze award from UNICEF and the Rights Respecting Schools Awarding body in 2017. UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights. The Rights Respecting Committee are now working towards the Silver award by continuing to raise awareness about children’s rights and the importance of respecting the rights of others. Our school values are underpinned by a rights respecting ethos to enable everyone to understand, respect and celebrate their rights.
Our pupil-led group plan to create classroom, playground and lunch hall charters to ensure everyone across our school and wider-community is safe, happy and healthy.
