It was so lovely to have so many families attend our Sunny Seaton event this term. Although sunny in the name, we didn't quite get the sunshine that we were hoping for. Nonetheless the clouds didnt dampen our spirits! With a variety of stalls, fundraising gifts, pupil leadership stalls, literacy activities, quizes, a bouncy castle and of course burgers for everyone! All our stalls were well supported with our ELC fundraising to support their Garden project, Cheerleading Club selling beautiful bracelets to raise money for their cheer outfits and a P7 demonstrating his business brain with his Pokemon Keyrings stall. A huge well done to all our pupils and team for hosting such an amazing event.
Take a look at our picture slide deck showcaing all the fun we all had!
We were exceptionally lucky to have such lovely weather for our Sports Day 2025. We all had a great time throughout the day with our potted sports and races. Our P1-4 and P5-7 pupils joined their house groups to work together through each of the activities. It was lovely to see all our pupils supporting each other to complete each of the stations and earn house points. Our fantastic House Captains and Vice Captains were exceptional leaders supporting at each of the stations and providing clear instuctions and encouragement for each of the teams.
A huge thank you to all the parents and families that joined us for our afternoon races. All of our pupils showed great enthusiasm and sportsmanship by supporting and encouraging their peers during our race events. A big shout out to our parents that competed in the parent race- the pupils were all very impressed!
Open to everyone in the city, this year’s Aberdeen Reads Challenge will see Library Bear (LB) sail across the seas. This year, we are aiming to beat our total of 2800 books read across the city as part of last year’s challenge. For every book or challenge logged, Library Bear will travel 10 nautical miles – trying to travel 30,000 (3,000 books) nautical miles and visits lots of fictional islands. Get reading and Library Bear may visit your favourite book islands.
Young people aged 4-15yrs will be able to earn rewards throughout the summer for reading books and completing challenges. A challenge card can be collected from any city library, with online cards available from the Aberdeen Reads website. Young people will be able to collect up to two stamps for every visit to their nearest library.
This year, all participants will also receive a certificate.
Keep reading over the Summer and enjoy Library Bear’s adventures on the seas!

Our P3/4 and P4 classes attended the annual Aberdeen City Council Big Sing event at Duthie Park. We were super lovely to have some gorgeous weather to help the P4 pupils from across the city to come together to share their love for singing. Pupils sang a variety of sea related songs to celebrate the beginning of the Tall Ship events that will be held across the city this summer. The pupils also sang a very special French song that was accompanied by our partner school in Clermont- Farrand in France. The live link up with displayed on a big screen and it was amazing to see all the pupils singing along together.
A huge well done to all our pupils that took part and thank you to all our families that came along to join in. More information about the event can be found here by clicking on the link- Aberdeen Big Sing 2025 .

Thank you to the pupils, families and staff for your input and feedback to create a shared vision for our school.
The Pupil Council at Seaton have been working hard this term to develop and create a Child Friendly version of our School Improvement Plan. The pupils took our main action points and collated them onto one document. Pupil Council have shared our Child Friendly School Improvement Plan at assembly and displayed this throughout the school.
Seaton School were grateful to all the families and carers that attended our Parents Evening. During the evening we asked families and carers to describe Seaton School in one word. We thank everyone for their input.
Since January, Seaton School have been gathering input from staff, pupils, and parents to create our School Travel Plan for 24/25 – Seaton Travel Plan.
One aim on the action plan was to organise a sign for the front of the school to encourage drivers to slow down. Our Parent Voice Group were happy to fund this for the school and we now have this displayed proudly at the main entrance.

Cybersafe Scotland Information for Parents - Safer Internet Day
Seaton School is one of the first Aberdeen City Council schools moving to a new system for school meals payments, called ParentPay. The new online payment service for school meals will go live at our school on 23 January 2023.
ParentPay will allow parents/ carers to make fast and effective cashless top ups for school meals at any time of the day, view meal selection and receive support and advice from ParentPay. All of this is accessed through a secure online ParentPay account.
Cash top-ups at the school will no longer be available once the school is using ParentPay, so it’s important that once notified you activate your account as soon as possible to continue to pay for school meals.
