MESSAGE FROM THE PARENT COUNCIL FOR PRIMARY 7 PARENTS
Dear Families,
For some time the walking distance to Smithycroft Secondary, for children transitioning there after Primary 7, has been a concern for families. The Parent Council, as part of one of their Grand Challenges, have been liaising with Glasgow City Council (GCC) regarding these concerns. In order for us to continue to do effectively we need to have as much information as possible. We recently asked all families to complete a short survey to provide us with the information that we need to allow us to continue discussion with GCC. So far only 17 families have completed the survey. Can we kindly ask that if you have not already completed the survey, you do so by the 11th of November 2024. An email link has been sent to all Primary 7 families today.
Additionally a number of families who have completed the survey, who may be eligible for free transport support from GCC, have not yet completed the online application form. If you think you may be eligible for transport support, primarily because you live more than 2.2 miles from the local catchment secondary school by the shortest suitable walking route, you must click on the link below to apply. The school or Parent Council cannot do this on your behalf.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us via email – wallacewellpsparentcouncil@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk
Kind Regard
The Parent Council
