Summer uniform swap

☀️ SPRING/SUMMER uniform swap☀️

The PA are going to pull out our clothing rail ready to hang pre-loved summer school uniform to share and swap. A great way to re-use uniform that no longer fits, and to get summer items for free that are often only worn for a short time.

We would love any donations of clean items in good condition from the list below to add to our rail.

☀️ Summer school dresses

☀️ Short sleeve polo shirts (with or without school logo)

☀️ School grey shorts or skirts

☀️ Cotton cardigans / jumpers

☀️ School blazers

The donations box will be in the foyer at the main entrance from today, and the rail available, same place, from tomorrow.

Thank you for helping us to reduce, re-use and recycle.

Parental Involvement and Engagement Census

The annual Parental Involvement and Engagement (PIE) census has been launched to gather the views of Glasgow’s families to help shape and influence education policy and decision making.

The Scottish Government wants to improve and increase the ways in which parents, carers and families can work with teachers and partners to support their children and young people. We also want to increase the voice of parents and carers in leading improvements within schools.

To achieve this ambition the Scottish Government, in partnership with local government, developed the Learning Together National Action Plan on Parental Involvement, Parental engagement, Family learning and Learning at home. The plan has a number of actions and goals designed to improve the support and information available to all parents.

In order to ensure that the Scottish Government and local authorities are meeting the commitments made in the National Action Plan it is important that we gather the opinions and feedback of parents to evaluate the progress we are making.

Due to the pandemic, the survey has not been carried out since 2019 so it is vitally important that we try to encourage as many of our parents and carers to take part in the census to make their views known.

Here is the link to all the information and the survey on the council webpages https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=17870 along with a QR code that will direct families to the questions.

It will not take long to fill in and Kathryn Farrow, QIO for parent partnerships, has been able to secure extra funding to be given to the Parent Council in the three schools that achieve highest participation rates – so that’s an added incentive to get more engagement in your school.
