School Closure

SCHOOL CLOSED TOMORROW – Fri 25th Jan

Glasgow City Council has taken the decision to close all schools and nurseries.

“Due to #StormÉowyn all our Schools and Council Nurseries will be closed tomorrow (Friday 24 January 2025).”

Please see email from Education Director, Douglas Hutchison that was issued to schools this afternoon.  (We will not be providing home learning as it is too short notice to collate this information to all pupils and families.)

Colleagues
A decision has been taken to close all schools and nurseries to both staff and children and young people due to the severe weather conditions forecast  tomorrow.
The Met Office has upgraded tomorrow’s storm warning to RED with very strong winds associated with Storm Éowyn causing very dangerous conditions and significant disruption.
We will issue messaging from the Council’s social media channels and ask  you to share this on your own social media or use your normal channels to alert families of the closure tomorrow.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our families but everyone’s safety is paramount in these circumstances.  A retrospective payment for those entitled to free school meals will be added to the next holiday payment due to families.
Remote learning is a challenge at such short notice, however where possible and practical colleagues may offer work to pupils through the school’s normal channels.
Corporate staff messaging will be issued with details from HR and if this can be cascaded to non-pc facing staff that would be helpful.
Thank you once again for your resilience, stay safe, and the expectation is for business as usual on Monday.
Best wishes
Douglas

Dear Parents and Carers,
We are excited to share that our Primary 6 classes are supporting the charity Refuweegee by organising a collection of toiletry donations. This fantastic cause helps to support those who have been displaced and are starting a new life in Glasgow.
We kindly ask for your support by donating any of the following items:
  • Shampoo and conditioner
  • Shower gel
  • Soap
  • Shaving foam and razors
  • Nappies
  • Toilet roll
  • Deodorant
All donations can be brought to school and P6 pupils will visit classes to collect. Please bring any donations to school by
Thursday 19th December.
We greatly appreciate your generosity in helping us make a difference to those in need.
Thank you for your support!
Kind regards,
P6 pupils and teachers

Showbie Class Groups

This year we will use Showbie groups to communicate with you at class level.  This will be for class information, reminders, photos and anything that applies to the class, that doesn’t need to be shared with the rest of the school.

To join your class Showbie group, your child will give you a code.

Further help about joining a group can be found via Showbie’s website  – Showbie groups help

The class group will be announcements only, so any help you need or to alert the class teacher to something going on, should be directed to the management team via the school office 0141 637 6798

or by email to the Head Teacher via this form.
