What matters to you about your child’s school?
Through this short survey Scottish Government would like you to help them find out what matters to parents about their school and their child’s education, focusing on what needs to be done to make the improvements we all want to see. The survey will close on October 16th and will inform the annual report for the National Improvement Framework parental involvement driver.

Adverse Weather
Adverse Weather
In the past, we have had severe disruption as a result of bad weather. In the event of a similar situation arising this winter we have put a few strategies in place. East Renfrewshire schools will only be closed in extreme circumstance.
- If the school is closed during the course of a school day you will be contacted, in the first instance, by text message. Please ensure we have a current mobile phone number on our records for this purpose.
- The text will ask you to make arrangements to collect your child as soon as possible. You cannot reply to this message.
- Please don’t telephone the school unless absolutely necessary as we have a limited number of external lines.
- Your child will be kept in school until someone comes for him/her.
- Once the school has been officially closed regular updates will be posted on the East Renfrewshire and school websitse and updates posted on Twitter.
In the event of heavy snow as first priority our janitor will clear a path to the breakfast club door from the stairs. Look out for signs directing you if we have to make any changes to the usual routine.
