Parent Council Update

Dear Families,

Last night we hosted our Parent Council AGM. All members of the existing Parent Council have now stepped down. We would like to once again thank them for their service and everything they have done for the school community over the years.

We did not establish roles for any new members of our 2023-24 Parent Council at last night’s AGM as a number of interested parents/carers were unable to attend. As such we have decided to host a brief Parent Council meeting next Monday (04.09.23) from 6-7pm at the school. This will be an opportunity for all parents/carers interested in the 2023-24 Parent Council to come along, sign up and help to establish a vision for this sessions Parent Council going forward.

We are aware than child care can sometimes pose a challenge for parents/carers looking to attend these meeting, therefore we will be providing child care for, those who need it, on 04.09.23 and at subsequent meetings to ensure those who want to attend can

As the new Headteacher at Wallacewell Primary I am very keen to establish a Parent Council and work collaboratively with them to get it right for our young people and our school community. I hope that you will be able to make it along to next week’s meeting.

Thank you in advance for your support.

FREE SCHOOL MEALS – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Free School Meals

Lots of our families, who we believe are entitled to Free School Meals (FSM), have still not registered. As you will be aware all P1-5 pupils attending school in Scotland are entitled to free school meals.

For other pupils (P6-7), parent or carer must be in receipt of –

  • Universal credit and earning no more than £726 in the monthly assessment period before you apply.
  • CTC only with income under £18,725
  • CTC/WTC with income under £8,717
  • Income support
  • Income-based jobseeker’s allowance
  • Income-related employment and support allowance
  • Asylum support from the Home Office

If your child is in P1-5 and also eligible for free school meals due to low income, you should still apply for free school meals to make sure that you get the Scottish child payment bridging payment. We would also encourage parents/carers of pupils in P6-7 to apply if you think you meet the criteria above.

Please visit the website for further information and to apply. If you require any assistance please do not hesitate to contact us at the school.
