Air Quality Around Schools
As part of our commitment to improving local air quality, East Renfrewshire Council now has powers to issue fixed penalty notices to drivers who don’t switch off their engines when stationary. Council officers will be carrying out patrols around local schools and speaking to drivers who let their vehicles idle unnecessarily.
Air quality within East Renfrewshire is generally good and meets national standards, however we are always keen to make further improvements. Within East Renfrewshire, road traffic is the main source of air pollutants. Parents and others taking children to and from school can help to reduce children’s exposure to exhaust fumes by leaving the car at home, by parking further away from the school and by turning off their engines when stationary.

P1 Curriculum Evening
Thank you to everyone who attended our P1 Curriculum Evening on Wednesday. We hope you found it informative and enjoyable. If you missed the presentation you can access it on the link below.
Learning Lodge
The former playbarn has now been fully converted into two, self contained classsroom units for P7A and P7C. Since we have lost this additional resource for PE we are now making use of the gyms in Isabel Mair school and the Baptist church as well as our own school facilities. I am very pleased with the new classrooms and parents of pupils housed in these will be able to see them at our curriculum evening for primaries 2-7 on 23rd September and on Parents’ Nights in November.
Dressing for Excellence
It is wonderful to see so many smart pupils in shirts, ties and blazers. Thank you for your support in encouraging your child to wear school uniform. P4 to P7 should be wearing black school shoes, white shirt, school tie, grey skirt/trousers and grey/white socks. P1-3 may wear a red polo shirt and grey sweatshirt. The PE kit for the whole school is a red polo shirt, black shorts and black gym shoes. All children should wear a blazer. Sweat shirts, polo shirts, ties and blazer badges can be purchased from the school office. Jackets can be ordered next month and we will send an order form home soon. Please put your child’s name on all items of clothing so these can easily be retunrned if lost.
Uniform prices are as follows:
Sweatshirts £10
Polo Shirts £8
Ties £5
Badges £7
Lightweight Rain Jacket £10
Sunhat £5
Car Parking
Those of you who are new to the school may not be aware of our ongoing parking problems. Please park only in the designated spaces on the roads up to and down from the school and ensure that you familiarise yourself with the parking restrictions in place. Please do not park in the disabled bays, on double yellow lines, in bus bays or the staff car parks. I would also ask you to avoid parking over driveways of houses around the school or on the grass verges. We have already received phone calls from local residents concerned about this. Your co-operation is much appreciated and will help us to be regarded as good neighbours.
Safety
We want all children to travel safely to and from school and in particular we promote healthy approaches including walking and cycling to school. When arriving at school children should enter the school playground through either the side gate on the hill or by the main path that leads to the main door. May I ask that all pupils and parents enter by these two access points and not through the staff car parks as there is often traffic and these areas must be approached with caution.
