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.

Safety Seymour Carbon Monoxide Workshops

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Initiative

Dear Parents/Carers

We are writing to let you know about a very special safety session that is coming up. We are a company called Bonanza Creative and, in collaboration with The Gas Network, we will be delivering a workshop to some classes in March called “Safety Seymour”. This interactive session uses games and drama to educate children on the dangers of carbon monoxide and how to keep themselves safe. Seymour (a superhero bear) and his safety assistant will be visiting your child’s class, on a mission to rid the world of CO poisoning but he needs help!!

There is more information about CO in the carbon monoxide booklet that you will receive on the day, or you can visit: safetyseymour.co.uk, it’s full of fun activities for your child to take part in.

We are aware that safety information can be quite alarming for children and have therefore made a great effort to package all information in a child-friendly way. That said, if your child does have any concerns about CO, please allay fears. It is highly unlikely that CO is present in your home but none the less, we must work to educate ourselves about its dangers and take precautions to keep ourselves safe, such as fitting a CO alarm.

Thank you for your time and if you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with your child’s school.
