Ibrox Primary School

We look forward to welcoming all of our children back to school on Wednesday the 17th August. We hope that all our families have had a lovely relaxing summer. Staff will be back in school on Monday 15th August, if you have any questions or queries please call the school office or email headteacher@ibrox-pri.glasgow.sch.uk and we will get back to you.

Please see below for a reminder of arrangements for our new Primary 1 pupils. We can’t wait to welcome the newest members of Team Ibrox!

FIRST DAY- Wed 17th August 

On the first day you should arrive at school and make your way to the class between 9:20 and 9:30am. This will allow for the older children to make their way to their classes before our newest children arrive, give you the opportunity to see the classroom and take any photos you wish for their first day.

Primary 1 children are entitled to a free school lunch or can bring their own packed lunch. Class teachers and additional staff will be in the Dinner Hall to support children in having their lunch.

We would then like to invite you to come back to the school at 2:30pm and collect your child from their class. Children should be collected from their classrooms. 

NORMAL ROUTINE 

On Thursday and Friday, the doors will be open from 8:50am for you to take your child up to class ready for the 9am start. At the end of the day the doors will be open from 2:50pm for you to collect your child from their class. This will then hopefully continue for the rest of the year.

Please see details of events running over the Summer holidays
