At the beginning of the session our Parent Council created a Facebook page to help families keep up to date with the life and work of the Parent Council.
If you have a Facebook account the Parent Council would like to enocurage families to give them a like and a follow.

We to remind families about the School Travel Assistance provided by Glasgow City Council (GCC). GCC provide transport for children and young people who live more than 1.2 miles from their local catchment primary school by the shortest suitable walking route and more than 2.2 miles from their local catchment secondary school by the shortest suitable walking route. This is slightly more generous than the statutory obligation.
Further information about School Travel Assistance, and details on how to apply if you think you may be eligible can be found on the following webpage –
https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/5505/School-Travel-Assistance
We would like to encourage all families who believe they are eligible to apply. This will also help to alleviate some of the road traffic issues we see at the beginning and end of the school day.
Hello, my name is Anna Byatt and I am excited to join the Wallacewell Primary School team. I am currently a year 3 student at The University of Glasgow, studying Community Development, which includes both classroom and placement-based learning. This year my placement is here at Wallacewell Primary School.
Throughout the duration of my course I have had the opportunity to experience placements in various sectors, organisations and locations – locally, globally and internationally. So far, as part of my University studies I have visited Belfast, India and this year plan to visit Kentucky to analyse how communities engage in different settings.
I am particularly interested in the educational aspects of Community Development. Education has always been a passion of mine, perhaps influenced from a young age by my Dad who is a primary school teacher, During my placement this year, my main focus will be on enhancing engagement with the school community and surrounding areas to help bring the community to life.
If you have any ideas for improving community connections within the school environment or even just to meet me for a chat, feel free to contact me via email. I am excited about embarking on my journey at Wallacewell Primary School!

A bit more about me – I am 23, I love to travel, I have a passion for sport, one of my favourite spots for a walk or run is Hogganfield Loch especially when I get to see the sunset across the water. I enjoy fun outdoor activities, particularly those that involve a bit of a risk! I consider myself a hands-on person, so the practical aspects of placement throughout my course suits my approach. I enjoy exploring the Community Development theories, ideologies and values and putting them into practice, which aligns closely with the educational values and ethos. I am a very sociable person, therefore working with people is the path I wanted to pursue as I have a passion for helping others find their confidence and the tools to empower themselves.
I look forward to meeting everyone and contributing to the Wallacewell Primary School community and improving community links going forward.
Please find attached the Parent Council Annual Report and Accounts ahead of their scheduled AGM on Monday the 23rd of September 2024. The meeting will take place at Wallacewell Primary at 6pm. As always, all welcome. Childcare for school aged pupils will be available. We look forward to seeing you there.
