Sway presentations have been e-mailed to families this afternoon. As we won’t be having our open classroom sessions this term, we hope that the presentations will give a little insight into school life.
We hope you enjoy them!

Following discussion with Health and Safety colleagues, at today’s pick up all children will leave the school grounds at the cycle track gate. This is a large double gate where the pavement is wider on the Eastwood side and closer to the crossing.
This should make it easier for those waiting at Eastwood High School to see their children leaving the school grounds. Staff will escort the children safely towards the crossing.
This will reduce the number of parents/carers waiting on the narrow pavement, as only children going in this direction will leave to the Patterton side of the cycle track gate.
P1 and P2 children and parents who are heading in the Patterton direction may use the zebra crossing in the school grounds to leave.
School staff will of course be there to help ensure children’s safety. We respectfully request that you do not arrive too early to collect to avoid congestion.
Please note that children will leave in the following order:
3pm- P7 then P5 (P2 collect at the door)
3:15pm P6, P4, P3/4 then P3 (P1 collect at the door)
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Kind regards,
Mrs McGuigan
We want to make sure that our return to school is as safe as possible and so please see the attached letter which indicates a slight change to our planned start and finish times. This is to ensure that we are able to avoid congestion at the end of the school day.
Arrangements for reopening Tues 11th Aug
Please note that all of the changes to the timings of the school day are temporary and we hope to be able to return to our established school hours as soon as it is safe and sensible to do so.
I hope that the children are looking forward to returning to school tomorrow. We are really looking forward to seeing them all!
Kindest regards
Mrs McGuigan
We are really looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Crookfur next week and getting to know all of our new P1 children and families.

We also have a video guide for children that we will share on Google Classrooms at the beginning of next week. Remember that for P2-P7, a new classroom has been set up already for you to join. There is a video message from your new teacher there too!
I will see you all on Wednesday 12th from 9am. If you have any questions or queries before then, please don’t hesitate to get in touch by sending an e-mail to;

Everyone at Crookfur Primary and Family Centre would like to wish our children and families a wonderful summer holiday!
Have fun and stay safe!
We are delighted to be able to organise visits to support our new children’s transition into primary one.
Parents and carers should have received an email or letter with details of their child’s visit. If you have not received this then please contact the school office on 0141-570-7120.
We are very aware that by now we would have met parents and children on a number of occasions and provided a wide range of information about the school and primary one. We have been busy creating virtual versions of our information evening presentations and have upload these onto the P.1 New Entrant section of our website (under the ‘Parents’ heading).
We have also added a range of resources to support children with their transition to school.
We hope you find the information and resources helpful. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any other information or have any other questions.
We look forward to getting to know all our primary one children as they start their school journey with us .
Many thanks,
Claire Jamieson

Well done to all of our amazing P7 pupils who joined in with our alternative residential this week! You have really shown great problem solving and developed lots of new skills.
Thanks to our fundraising committee for providing lovely treats and certificates for the children and to Mrs Norman and Miss Kelly for your hard work to ensure that the children had a special week!
Have a lovely weekend

Welcome back everyone to the first day of the Summer term. Today’s beautiful weather has put smiles on everyone’s faces!
I hope that you have enjoyed a break over the holidays and you were able to spend time with your family, perhaps working on a new hobby or learning a new skill.
I’m sure you are all raring to go – whether learning at home or in the hub.
Have a great term!
Mrs McGuigan
Dear Families,
