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.

Primary 4 Reading Challenge!
Primary 4 are taking part in a ‘We Love To Read’ challenge this term. Each child has a bookmark to log the number of minutes they spend reading for enjoyment: 10 minutes = 1 book coloured in. 100 minutes completes the bookmark. We are aiming for 10, 000 words for the whole class! Your child should have a bookmark like the one below in their bag – let’s see if we can meet our target!!

Rookie Rockstars
Camstradden Rocks
We are DELIGHTED to share that Camstradden Primary will be working with the Rookie Rockstars when we return to school after the Easter break. Supported by the Rookie Rockstar Team our pupils will participate in a unique learning experience which tackles anti-bullying, and aims to promote confidence, self-esteem, and positive friendships. The programme is provided to the school by Rookie Rockstars at no cost.
Our school community will have the opportunity to work with professional musicians, learn original songs and perform in their very own rock concert. Our rock concert will take place on the evening of Thursday the 27th of April 2023. It is our expectation that all pupils attend to perform. Families will be able to buy tickets to attend the event when we return from our Easter Break. Tickets are priced at £3 each and are subsidised by the school from the original ticket cost of £5. Due to limited space tickets are limited to 2 tickets per family. Any spare tickets will go on sale the day before the concert. All money raised will go to the Rookie Rockstar charity to support them to deliver this amazing programme in schools.
