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.
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.

Dear Families,
We’ve got some exciting news to share with you!
Parentkind, a charity that supports school communities, have teamed up with Asda, who is making millions of pounds available to donate to primary schools across the UK through their ‘Cashpot for Schools’ initiative. To support our school, all you have to do is opt-in through the Asda Rewards app, shop and scan in store or shop online at Asda.com.
Between 2nd September and 30th November 2024 – every time you shop with Asda using your Asda Rewards app, Asda will donate 0.5% of the value of your shop to your chosen Primary school. Also, every time somebody opts-in to support our Primary school, Asda will give an additional £1 to the school Cashpot. Plus, it doesn’t stop there – Asda are also giving £50 to every school to get them started.
It’s as easy as 1,2,3
1. Download the Asda Rewards app, register and opt-in to Cashpot for Schools. Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed.
2. Choose our Primary School. Either searching by name (Wallacewell Primary) or postcode (G21 3RH)
3. Shop instore across Asda and George, or online at Asda.com and start filling your Cashpot as you shop
Asda does the rest, all money raised will be donated to our school to spend on the things we need the most.
Remember, anyone can sign up – so start spreading the news and raising funds for our school.
This initiative is on top of the existing Asda Rewards benefits you get as a shopper – so you won’t lose out on any of your own earnings or Cashpot, so everyone is a winner!

As always thank you for your continued support.
Yours
