Drumwealth Games 2023!

On Friday 9th June,  the Drumwealth games swept through Drumchapel once again. This year marked 10 years since the concept was born. Camstradden pupils enjoyed a fun filled day of football, pickle ball, tennis, cycling, taekwondo and basketball alongside our friends from other local schools. The sun shone in Drumchapel and the pupils all had a fabulous day. A HUGE thank you to all of  the local clubs who supported the event and also to Fiona Kirk, our amazing Active Schools Coordinator for organising the event. How many days until the next Drumwealth!?

A Fond Farewell from Miss Davidson (Acting Headteacher)

Dear Families,

As most of you will be aware tomorrow (Wednesday) is my last day as Acting Headteacher at Camstradden Primary. On Thursday I will be taking up post as Headteacher of Wallacewell Primary in Robroyston. Mr Clark (DHT) and Mrs Reside (Acting DHT) will be managing the school for the last few weeks of term.

It feels like only yesterday I started in post as Acting Headteacher and I am so very sad to be leaving. Being Headteacher at Camstradden has been a wonderful experience for me and I have loved every minute of it.

During my time at Camstradden I have –

  • Worked collaboratively across the school community through highs and lows.

  • Driven forward school improvement to ensure we are getting it right for our young people.

  • Led the school through a very successful HMIe inspection.

  • Built strong relationships with colleagues and families.

  • And most importantly, have developed relationships with your outstanding children based on mutual respect and trust.

The Camstradden school community is a spectacular place to work and learn. I want to thank you for trusting in me to care for your children. I wish everyone, pupils, staff and families alike, all the very best for the future. I look forward to hearing about Camstradden’ s continued journey from good to great.

As I have said to the children its not a goodbye forever just a cheerio for now!

Yours

Miss Davidson (Acting Head Teacher)

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.
