The Scottish Executive has recently provided significant funding to schools across Scotland in order to further support equity in learning for all children. The Executive decided to base the amount that each school received upon the number of children with a Free School Meal entitlement and their intention is to continue this funding for at least a further three years.
If your child is eligible for a Free School Meal entitlement, we would encourage you to register for this as not only will it provide that benefit for your own child, it will also result in additional funding through the Pupil Equity Fund being provided to Giffnock Primary School.
Within our cluster, we are aiming to raise the profile of this entitlement and Woodfarm High School has put together a flier which details relevant information; whilst some of the details on it are specific to Woodfarm, it does provide clear and useful guidance.
If you would like any further information or support with the process, our school office can assist you further in this matter.
