Iftar Event

Thank you to all our families who bought tickets for this event. It was a wonderful evening. A special thank you to the families who stayed behind to help us clear the hall.

Main Door

When leaving the school building, please do not hold the door open for any adults waiting to enter the school building. It is important that all visitors buzz the office for entry. Also, please do not bypass reception on entry. For safety, we must know who is in the building at all times.

Financial Inclusion

We have a finance officer in school every Thursday morning to help families with a variety of issues including housing, benefits, Free School Meals, employment and training etc. Please drop in on a Thursday morning to speak to Emma or to arrange an appointment. All information shared with Emma is confidential and she can arrange to meet you outside of the school building, should you prefer.

ESOL and Digital Classes

Our ESOL classes continue to run on a Monday morning and our Digital Literacy classes on a Thursday morning. These classes are open to all our parents/carers. Both classes are held in school.

Parent Pay

The council requires that parents/carers use Parent Pay to pay for items such as lunches and trips. You will have received instructions on how to do this. Please contact the school office if you have any problems as the school will no longer be able to accept cash payments.

School Lunches

School lunches are free for children in P1-6 and for children in P7 who have successfully applied for free school meals. If your child is in P7 and is not entitled to free school meals the options are to provide a packed lunch or to pay for a school dinner via Parent Pay. This will avoid building up debt which will require to be repaid to Glasgow City Council. The school cannot accept cash payments. Please consider applying for free school meals even if your child is P1-6 as this can provide access to further benefits.
