Homework Policy
Following our consultation with pupils, parents/carers and teaching staff we have refreshed our homework policy moving in to term 3. This will ensure consistency across the school and will ensure we are meeting the needs of all of our pupils and families. Just under half of our families felt that home learning was important, with over a fifth of families sharing they felt it was not important. A very high number of families also share that they found home learning stressful, frustrating, a struggle and demanding. Almost all families felt that reading was important and this is why we have referenced the importance of reading for pleasure in our new policy. We have also introduced a termly extended family learning activity. A copy of our homework policy can be viewed by clicking on the link below –

Christmas Community Events – December 2023
Dear Families,
We know that Christmas is a busy time and we are trying to condense our information sharing for you all as much as possible. However we have been made aware of few local events that may be of interest to you and your family over the festive season.
We have been contacted by a community member who organises the ‘Santa Stop Visits’ in the Robroyston area. This year it is planned for Friday the 15th of December. Unfortunately it could not go head last year due to a lack of volunteers. The team are looking for volunteers to help this year. If you are able to help out please contact the school by replying to this email and we will pass your details on to the organisers. They team are also looking for donations of selection boxes to ensure every child gets one during the community event. If you are able to help out in any way, please contact us at the school.
On Saturday the 2nd of December from 1-4pm, Robroyston Church (34 Saughs Drive, G33 1HG) are hosting their Christmas Table Top Sale & Café. A range of items will be on sale including crafts, home-baking and new & preloved items. Admission cost for adults is £3.50 and 50p for a child. This includes tea and coffee and home- baking.
The Wallacewell Community Fellowship are also running a ‘Breakfast with Santa’ event on Saturday the 16th of December. To book your place, please click on the link below –
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely
Miss Davidson
Head Teacher
We are a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School!
We are a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School!
“Children have the right to be loved. Children have the right to make mistakes. With rights come responsibilities.”
Wallacewell Primary aim to be a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve well-being and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. As part of this plan we recently applied to Unicef Rights Respecting Schools for recognition of our work. We are delighted to share that we have been awarded our Rights Respecting Schools Bronze Award on behalf of Unicef UK.
Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential.
Wallacewell Primary Primary pupils are learning about their rights and will continue to do so through the Rights Respecting School Programme by putting them into practice every day. A Rights Respecting School models rights and respect in all its relationships.
We really hope that you will be able to support our school on our journey towards becoming a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School. You can find out more about the Convention on the Rights of the Child by visiting https://www.unicef.org.uk/what-we-do/un-convention-child-rights/
