We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our pupils for dressing so brightly today to promote staying safe and seen in the darker months. The Scottish weather was on our side, for once, giving us a dull day to really show the importance of wearing bright or reflective clothing so that others can see you.
Well done to our Be Bright Winners from each class and to the brightest dressed members of staff too. It was incredibly tough selecting the winners this year! Thank you to the parent council for our pupils’ gifts and thank you to our JRSOs for putting so much time and effort into organising our Be Bright Day 🤩

On Tuesday this week, Uddingston Grammar (UGS) held the Newton Farm heats for the Numeracy Challenge transition event. Mrs Kennan (Head of Mathematics at UGS), along with some S6 helpers, led the challenge where each of the ten groups had to work as a team to answer seven clues. The first two teams to answer all the clues received a key that opened a treasure chest full of tasty treats to choose from! The winning teams will be attending the Numeracy Challenge final in December along with the finalists from each other UGS catchment school. More information on this event to come.
Here’s what some of our pupils had to say about the event:
“The teamwork part was very fun!” – Lennon
“I thought it was fun that we had to go in groups to discuss the answers and work out the challenges together.” – Jack
“It was fun getting to meet the S6 helpers and working with them.” – Emily
“It was really quite fun and I liked how the challenges were different. The decoding challenge was so much fun!” – Daisy

Our two newly appointed Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) had a great morning at Chatelherault Country Park today. Each year, South Lanarkshire Council hold a JRSO Open Day for pupils to network, learn about their duties and gain ideas for promoting road safety in and around our school. We’ve come away with lots of ideas and will soon be meeting with our South Lanarkshire School Travel Plan Co-ordinator to discuss our agenda for the year. Watch this space!
