Breakfast Club
Letters have gone home today regarding Breakfast Club. This year we have received over 60 requests for places, however, we continue to have only 30 spaces. This will result in a number of families not receiving a space.
As our Breakfast Club staffing is not authority funded but funded using our Pupil Equity Fund this means that spaces are allocated linked to a range of criteria including:
- SIMD (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation)
- school attendance over a number of years
- latecoming over a number of years
Receiving a place in previous years does not guarantee a space for the coming year. Daily fees of £1 ( currently supplemented to reduce costs to 80p) this covers the authority cost of food only.
If you have received a letter offering your child a space at Breakfast Club for Session 23/24 please return to the school office no later than Wednesday 26th June
We currently have a waiting list for spaces at breakfast club therefore if we don’t receive your letter by this date accepting the place allocated to your child we will assume that the place is no longer required and allocate the space to one of our waiting list children.
Thank you for your support with this.
World of Work Day – thank you!
I would just like to say thank you all so much again for giving up your own time yesterday to help at our career day. Without all of your help it wouldn’t have been such a success! The children had a fantastic day learning different information about your job roles as well as having the opportunity to try on and use the equipment that was brought and have the opportunity to see the emergency service vehicles too! Mount Carmel are super grateful for you all and we hope you enjoyed our day too!
Thank you,
Miss Grimley

Our much loved Fr Martin
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of our much loved Fr Martin.

Fr Martin
It was with heavy hearts today that we listened to Fr Martin announce he would be moving parish to take up a new post in Troon.
Fr Martin has supported our children on their faith journey in a unique and caring way. We will be sad to see him leave on the 30th June, however, we wish him well in his new role.
Fr Martin has been central to our Mount Carmel Family and will continue to always have a special place in our hearts.
