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.

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!
