East Renfrewshire Council – Communication to Parents

Dear Parent/Carer School Closure – Red Weather Warning Friday 24th January 2025

Following the announcement of the red weather warning, covering East Renfrewshire, the Council has taken the decision to close all schools and early learning and childcare settings on Friday 24th January.

This is a difficult decision and we understand the impact that this will have on parents and carers, however, in light of the significant warnings, the safety of children, young people and staff is paramount.

Arrangements are being made to ensure some learning provision is available remotely for children through online means.

Any further updates on the disruption will be communicated as required.

A new East Renfrewshire Community Planning Partnership vision – East Renfrewshire A Place to Grow – has been launched.

The vision sets out the shared hopes and aspirations between now and 2040 so that East Renfrewshire is a place where everyone can flourish, thrive and grow.

The Neilston course will run for 8 weeks, with the aim that people will come to as many of the sessions as they can. Feedback from the same course currently running in Barrhead includes people making friends, managing along when they have never sustained attending groups before and feeling more confident after week 1.  The Barrhead workshops are stand alone sessions and people can attend as many or as few as they like.
