Free School Meals Drive

Lots of our families, who we believe are entitled to Free School Meals (FSM), have still not registered. As you will be aware all P1-5 pupils attending school in Scotland are entitled to free school meals.

For other pupils (P6-7), parent or carer must be getting:

  • Universal credit and earning no more than £726 in the monthly assessment period before you apply.
  • CTC only with income under £18,725
  • CTC/WTC with income under £8,717
  • Income support
  • Income-based jobseeker’s allowance
  • Income-related employment and support allowance
  • Asylum support from the Home Office

If your child is in P1-5 and also eligible for free school meals due to low income, you should still apply for free school meals to make sure that you get the Scottish child payment bridging payment. We would also encourage parents/carers of pupils in P6-7 to apply if you think you meet the criteria above.

Please click on the link below to apply. If you require any assistance please do not hesitate to contact us at the school.

Our Inspection Report

Our Inspection Report has now been published. I am sure, like me, you will be delighted with the outcome. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for their continued hard work and dedication to ensure we are meeting the needs of our young people at Camstradden. I would also like to congratulate our wonderful pupils for their hard work. They created made such a positive impression on our visitors. I would also like to thank our families and partners for their continued support.

You will see from the report that the positive steps we are making are highlighted alongside some examples of excellent practice. You will also see our identified next steps which include a continued focus on improving attendance and late coming. As you will know this is not something we can do alone and as such it is important that families support us by ensuring that their children are in school, on time, every day. This in turn, as mentioned in our report, will help to improve attainment and ensure that pupils needs are being met.

Well done Camstradden Primary!

Free School Meal/Breakfast Club Grant and Clothing Grants

Dear Families,

As you may be aware some families are entitled to financial support in the form of free School Meal/Breakfast Club and Clothing grants. Free school meal support includes free access to breakfast club which runs in school, each day from 8-8.45am. The School Clothing Grant award of £120 for a Primary aged child or £150 for a Secondary aged child is available on an annual basis to assist with the cost of purchasing essential school clothing for families who are on a qualifying benefit.

We are aware that many of our families who are entitled to this support have not signed up yet. For many families this may be because their child in in Primary 1-5 and free school meals are provided as standard for all pupils at these stages. However, we would like to remind families that applying for the free Meal/Breakfast Club grant will also allow pupils to access Breakfast club free of charge where pupils are provided with a full breakfast and have the opportunity to socialise and play with friends.

We would like to encourage all of our families who believe they may be entitled to the free School Meal/Breakfast Club and Clothing grant to apply. Please click on the link below for further information –
