At Loudoun-Montgomery we are very lucky to have strong support from our Community Partners.
Fullarton Community Hub
We have a long standing positive connection with the Fullarton Community Hub which neighbours our school. Many of our families regularly attend events at the Hub and the school are supported at our Events by Donna and her team. The Hub provides a social setting for families as well as health activities, and bringing Health Professionals for surgeries in the heart of the Fullarton Community.
Fullarton Connexions
Fullarton Parish Church is also a key school partner. Reverend and Mrs Urquhart play a significant role is supporting the work of the school. We enjoy visiting the Church for Assemblies and events, which includes the Annual Whole School Nativity, led by Mrs Urquhart. We also support the work of Fullarton Connexions, by getting involved in the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal.
Mrs Urquhart and her team of volunteers also lead the weekly Scripture Union after school club on a Wednesday and this is very well attended. A number of our senior pupils also enjoy the annual Scripture Union residential visit.
Local Businesses
Local Businesses also provide support for the school as community partners. We have a strong relationship with the local Tesco Supermarket who support our events with donations in addition to providing opportunities for the pupils to learn about the world of work. We also receive generous donations from businesses to support the work of the school.
Fullarton Care Home
Our other neighbour is the Fullarton Care Home which we have a strong link with. Our Early Years children have enjoyed well planned and meaningful inter-generational learning. Tracey, our Early Years Manager, and her team worked closely with the team from Fullarton Care Home to train our staff on dementia awareness. This allows our staff to have a greater understanding of the residents and to decide on appropriate activities. Tracey also arranged for the Early Years Team to share key aspects of childhood development with the Care Home Staff to allow them to understand and plan accordingly. The sharing of training was a key driver in the success of the project.
