On behalf of all of the staff at Giffnock Primary, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a joyous holiday period with your families and the very best of health and happiness for the New Year. We look forward to sharing in all of the wonderful stories and excitement when our children return to school on Thursday 5th January … 2017!

We have compiled a booklet to help provide general information to parents and carers about the Health & Wellbeing and Physical Activity that goes on at Giffnock Primary. Within this document, you will see that the current PE days are detailed for our classes. We hope that you find this useful and have placed it below and under the ‘Parents’ tab.

A new calendar of events for parents and carers has been put under the ‘Parents’ tab. This will be updated during the course of the year as any dates may need to be added/ changed.

The August 2016 Newsletter is now available on the website under the Information tab or through the link below:

This afternoon there was a fault with the school’s alarms systems which triggered our fire evacuation procedures.

It was not a drill and the procedures were followed to ensure the pupils’ safety.

Thankfully it was just a fault in the system and there was no fire but unfortunately it happened to occur on a wet afternoon.  All our teachers have supported the children to remain warm and dry once returning to class, hence some of them now wearing their PE kit.

I am delighted to begin the new school session at Giffnock Primary School as Acting Head Teacher.

It has been great to get to meet all of our children this week and, over the coming days and weeks, I look forward to meeting many of you and the wider school community. In the meantime, if you do have any particular questions then please do not hesitate to contact me.

We will be maintaining our parents/ carers ‘drop in’ session on Friday mornings between 9-9.30am, where a member of the Senior Leadership Team would be available to discuss any specific matters regarding your child’s learning.

I look forward to our year ahead,

Yours faithfully,

Rob Lawson
