Gentle reminder now that the new school session has started that parents/carers should not use the Crossgates Care Home Car Park when dropping off or collecting their children.
This is a private car park for use of staff & resident families ONLY
Access should always be given to Emergency Service vehicles and overcrowding of this car park could prevent this from happening.

FUN DAY INFO
As the end of term is fast approaching, the school would like to say a great big thank you to our parents and friends of Mount Carmel for organising this years fun day.
The children will take part in day full of great activities including bouncy castles, obstacles courses and a visit to the ice cream van.
They will also be taking part in outdoor play session. The children are invited to bring in bikes and scooters for this activity (they also must bring a helmet for health and safety reasons)
And finally, the children are encouraged to wear their own clothes tomorrow. We ask that no child comes into school wearing football colours of any description. The children should wear comfortable clothes and shoes for all of the fun and active activities they will be taking part in.
As always, we thank you for your ongoing support.
Early Closure Summer 2024 Transport Update
Early Closure Summer 2024 Transport Update
The Summer School closure on Friday 28th June 2024 whereby all schools close at 1pm will no doubt have an impact on pupils who access school transport. We have many linked contracts that serve both primary pupils as well as secondary pupils across both Mainstream and ASN Schools.
To ensure sufficient transport provision on this date and to ease congestion, all contractors will arrange to collect primary children at 12.25pm.
School Uniform Offers
Learning Journals
Check out your child’s Learning Journals page for some photos from our recent trip to Blair Drummond.
Summer Holidays

We hope you all have a brilliant summer break

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.
The Martin Chambers Ecudor Trust Fundraiser
The children have had a wonderful day at our singalong and dance-along fundraiser for the Martin Chambers Ecudor Trust.
At present we have managed to raise an AMAZING £1129, however if you still have any sponsor money you would like to donate this can be paid via Parentpay
Thankyou to everyone for sponsoring the children and helping to raise funds for this wonderful charity.
