Playground

You will notice some further space restrictions in the playground between now and the end of term. This is allow work to begin on the multi-use games area (MUGA) that will be located towards the Coplaw Street end of the playground. It is hoped that by starting this work now, both the MUGA and the rest of the resurfacing will be complete for the children returning in August.

Some items that the school have purchased such as a new gazebo, play fort and shade sail will be installed during the month of August.

The Parent Council hope to bring back their popular coffee mornings after the summer holidays. We will keep you posted on this. As always, if you wish to become involved in the Parent Council, please contact me via the school office or speak with our Parent Council chairperson – Mrs Aishah Haq.

We would like to thank Mosey Uddin for her enormous contribution to the Parent Council and the life of the school for the past 7 years. Mosey’s son Raees leaves for secondary school at the end of term so Mosey will be giving up her role as Parent Council Treasurer. Thank you Mosey.

New Glasgow south side primary school – consultation

The purpose of this consultation is to propose options for a new primary school to be situated on the south-side of the city, but which would also serve part of the city centre. As part of this proposal, a new catchment area would be defined for the proposed new school and a new catchment area for the proposed associated secondary school. The catchment areas of schools in the locality would also be changed as a result of the proposal.

As part of Glasgow’s ambitions to regenerate the Gorbals/Tradeston/Laurieston and Govanhill areas of the city, a significant amount of new housing has been constructed in these neighbourhoods.  As a result of this, a number of schools have experienced increasing rolls, and steps have had to be taken to ensure that there was sufficient capacity for catchment area children.

In addition, the Council is embarking on a strategy of re-populating the city centre in line with its “City Centre Living Strategy” and as such, there will be a requirement to provide a bespoke education provision for families wishing to relocate to the southern end of the city centre.

The full consultation document and information on how to respond to the consultation are available at www.glasgow.gov.uk/schoolconsultations.

We will read and consider every submission. Once we have collated all responses we will produce a report which will be given to councillors who will then decide whether to go ahead with the proposals above.

*NB

The statutory consultation document is available at the establishments identified above, online at www.glasgow.gov.uk/schoolconsultations and at Education Services, City Chambers East, 40 John Street, Glasgow, G1 1JL.

CONSULTATION PROCESS

Where a Council brings forward proposals to close or make significant amendments to  schools there is a requirement to carry out a public consultation within the statutory framework defined by the Schools (Consultation)(Scotland) Act 2010.

Consultation papers have been distributed to a wide range of stakeholders and interested parties including:

  • Parents/carers/children(establishments affected by the proposals)

House System

This session our new House Captains and Vice Captains have been reviewing our house system and the children have told us that the houses don’t mean much to them. They have decided on four new houses and I have noted below some information on the person each house is named after.

BARBOUR HOUSE – named after Mary BARBOUR:

Mary Barbour led rent strikes in Govan and Partick in early 1900s after landlords tried to evict poor families. She campaigned for free school milk and more children’s playgrounds. Mary became one of the first female councillors after women were allowed to hold office.

HOY HOUSE – named after Sir Chris HOY:

Chris Hoy is eleven-times a world champion and six-times an Olympic champion. With a total of seven Olympic medals, six gold and one silver, Chris Hoy is the second most decorated Olympic cyclist of all time. He is an ambassador for UNICEF and for SAMH.

AZZUDIN HOUSE – named after Amal AZZUDIN:

Amal’s passion for human rights and social justice began when she rose to fame as one of the Glasgow Girls in 2005. Along with six other school girls from Drumchapel High School, she campaigned against dawn raids, and the detention and deportation of asylum seekers in Glasgow.

Their story has since been turned into two BBC documentaries, a stage musical and a television musical drama: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02n30h8

Amal is an ambassador for the Scottish Refugee Council and has been named as one of the Young Women’s Movement Outstanding Woman of Scotland.

HAINING HOUSE – named after Jane HAINING:

Jane Haining lived in Pollokshields and worked and worshipped in Govanhill. She travelled to Hungary to be a teacher and missionary. Jane protected Jewish families and pupils from the invading Nazis. She was found out and taken to Auschwitz where she was killed for her beliefs. Jane was a largely forgotten hero but has more recently been recognised and a hero of the Holocaust.

Uniform:

I am pleased to see all children wearing their school uniform this session and would like to thank parents for their support with this. If you have not done so already, please ensure that items of clothing, including jackets, are labelled with your child’s name to avoid loss. Clothing grants for school uniforms can be accessed online at www.glasgow.gov.uk as we are no longer provided with paper forms.

P.E:

P.E. often takes place outside. Please ensure your child has appropriate P.E. kit for indoor and outdoor P.E.

Homework:

Homework will be issued in various formats, but most often, homework will be issued and completed via Seesaw.

Dropping off and Collecting Children:

We continue with our soft start and end to the day with gates and doors open from 8.50am and again from 2.50pm.

Unfortunately we are still unable to have parents in the school grounds and I continue to monitor Scottish Government updates for any changes to this directive.

Parent Council:

Please consider joining our small, friendly Parent Council group. We would love to have your support and views. If you would be interested, please contact me through the school office. Language  barriers are not an issue as interpreters can be arranged. Our first meeting of the session will be early September.

Healthy Eating:

Please support our healthy eating initiative by providing healthy snacks and lunches in regular size portions. No takeaways or items such as family size bags or crisps or packs of pastries are permitted. Please remember to provide your child with a water bottle.

Absence during term time:

Please be aware that we cannot authorise or support term time travel as this has a negative impact on your child’s learning. Any travel arrangements made during term time will require supporting evidence, such as travel documents to be presented to the school office. Due to school waiting lists in the area, extensive travel may result in your child being removed from the school roll. In addition, any travel to an area that requires quarantine on return, will result in a further two week absence for your child and a further period without teaching. Please support your child by ensuring maximum attendance.

Sickness:

Please contact the school if your child is unwell and cannot attend school. Where symptoms may indicate Covid please book a Covid test through NHS Inform website or by calling 119. Should your child or a family member test positive for Covid, please follow instructions given by the Test and Protect team. Lateral flow tests can be delivered free to your home should your family wish to take regular testing at home.

If your child develops potential Covid symptoms in school, he or she will be escorted to the medical room, where they will be supervised until collection.

Where there is a positive case in a class, it is no longer the policy to isolate whole groups or classes. Our school will follow any guidance received from the Test and Protect team.

Face Coverings:

Face coverings are still mandatory for staff in common areas or where they are working in close proximity with others.

Cleaning and hygiene:

Children are still encouraged to wash their hands/use hand sanitiser regularly. We have been assigned a day cleaner from 10am-2pm every day for enhanced cleaning of high touch areas.

Seesaw:

This is our default method for communication with children and families due to the high cost of text messaging. Please ensure you have the Seesaw Family app downloaded and that the school has a parental email address. Contact the school office should you require any assistance setting this up.

Playground Update:

We have had a partial resurface of the playground over the summer with the other areas to be completed over Easter and next summer. An enclosed multi-use games area is also conformed for installation next summer. We have also received confirmation of a new green space which will be created within the grounds. The playground will have new markings applied and there will be some external improvements to the janitor’s house.
