Cost of Living Support

Leave a comment

General Cost of Living 

The rise in the cost of living is really hitting but there’s more help out there than you might think. Trying to find out what you’re entitled to, what support is on offer and where to get it can be really confusing. A new website has been launched by Fife Council and partners where you can access a huge range of support, all in one place. With useful information, advice and contact details our.fife.scot/gethelp links to support with energy bills, food, benefits, the family, and home, as well as health and wellbeing, so you should be able to find help that’s right for you. There’s also an online benefit checker -so you can make sure you are getting everything you’re entitled to. #GetHelpFife

Fife Council and partners want to ensure that every Fifer has easy access to coordinated practical information and support, which helps reduce the impact of rising costs when needed the most. Part of this campaign is the Cost of Living Support (fife.scot) website which provides information on the wide range of advice and financial support available to the people of Fife. This site will also be used internally by the staff looking for information on behalf of customers.

With this in mind, the Council team would appreciate you having a look through the site, looking for information, making sure you can find the answers you were expecting, and then reporting back your findings through this Website Feedback Form: https://bit.ly/3MzLxYI

All feedback will be used to inform how the site changes and improves in the coming weeks. #GetHelpFife

About St. Bride’s RC Primary School

Leave a comment

Welcome to our school.

St Bride’s R.C. Primary is a denominational primary located in the town of Cowdenbeath. Around 190 children from Lumphinnans, Hill of Beath, Crossgates and Cowdenbeath itself attend the school and there is space for 60 children in our nursery. The building opened in the 1930’s and was refurbished in the 1970’s. Staff and pupils of St Bride’s were relocated to this building in 1973.

The school playground has an extensive grassy area as well as a large tarmac area to the rear of the building. New playground markings have been laid and a trim trail has been added to enhance the outdoor space. Both of these projects are a result of pupil council audits and were funded through a Big Lottery Grant. A small orchard has been planted in a quiet corner of the grass area. The nursery garden continues to be developed, this year by the creation of a plastic bottle greenhouse.

Our school is characterised by an inclusive ethos which aims to honour the life, dignity and voice of each person, made in the image of God. We aim to foster this ethos within our school environment where pupils, parents and staff work together in partnership to provide the highest possible standard of education for all learners.
