The application process for school clothing grants and free school meals is changing. 

As part of the Council’s commitment to transforming our services and offering best value to our customers, the application process for school clothing grants and free school meals is changing. 

From Tuesday 4 June 2019 all applications must be made online – and this can be done from a smart phone, PC, laptop or tablet.  

Please don’t apply before then as we are no longer accepting advance paper applications. 

The new system will make applying for clothing grants and free school meals simpler, faster and more cost effective to administer.  

If you, or someone you know does not have online access, please call 01563  554400 (option 3) and a member of staff will complete the form over the phone on your behalf.

 Learn more here and remember to check back and make your application on, or after Tuesday 4 June.

Parent Club, www.parentclub.scot goes live today. The replaces ‘Feedgood’. The rationale for this is to bring all the Scottish Government communications to parents under one single communications strategy framed around the needs of parents, providing solutions to daily parenting problems. The information offers information about breastfeeding, the Baby Boxes and also signpost parents on to other relevant areas of the site like safe sleeping, pregnancy and first days.

It’s time once again to look out any clothes, shoes etc that are in need of being recycled.

The children were all provided with a RAG BAG today to bring home.

The collection is on Thursday 16th May. Thank you!

On behalf of Mrs Govans, Head Teacher, Catrine PS & ECC                             A warm welcome extended to all tomorrow (Wednesday 8th May) for Catrine ECC’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations.

We look forward to seeing you there!
