North Glasgow Community Food Initiative

This year we have had a very exciting addition to the Royston family! The North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) have started the Royston Food Hub in our school.

The NGCFI have already started cookery and nutrition classes for P7’s and members of the local community. There is also now a Fruit Barra which sells fresh fruit and vegetables at a great price. Come visit our Fruit Barra which is run by a team of NGCFI volunteers, Primary 7 pupils and Mr Steer. It is based either in the school playground or just inside the main entrance every Monday from 2.45pm to 3.15pm.

Here is the link to the NGCFI Website.

You can also find them on Twitter (@NGCFI_Royston).

Some of our pupils say that parents/carers do not read our newsletters and this would be a real shame if it were the case. This is one of the main ways we communicate with you and let you know about school life.
