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.<\/p>\n

Parent Pay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

School Lunches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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 (link below) even if your child is P1-6 as this can provide access to further benefits.<\/p>\n
