Given the unusual times we currently live in we have produced a video walkthrough of the whole school as part of our Primary 7 Transition process.

Hope you and your families are all keeping well and staying safe.

As a school we are trying hard to ensure we are engaging with our pupils. Their health and well being is of the utmost importance to us. Your child’s Principal Teacher of Pupil Support is trying to contact as many pupils as possible either through email or phone calls. We have also sent letters to every child. No one is sure when, or how, we will return to school but in the meantime please stay in touch. Even just send an email to the Pupil Support teacher to say all is well. Their email addresses are as follows:-

Atholl: llyttle@braidhurst.n-lanark.sch.uk​

Lorne: jyoung@braidhurst.n-lanark.sch.uk

Morven​: lauraneilson@braidhurst.n-lanark.sch.uk

Rannoch​: mmchugh@braidhurst.n-lanark.sch.uk; amcintyre@braidhurst.n-lanark.sch.uk

By now your child will have received a copy of their new timetable. We made the decision to ‘move’ your child on to try and ensure they can start different work and to help keep the momentum of teaching and leaning going. Staff are working hard to ensure work is posted on glow teams to make sure your child has plenty to do. Please ensure your child is engaging with the tasks.

If there are any problems with regards accessing glow please fill out our form here and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively email your child’s pupil support teacher. If there are any issues with regards their classes then please contact Mrs Macdonald (amcdonald@braidhurst.n-lanark.sch.uk) There is also information on other supports available to you during this difficult period.

We are constantly looking at how we can support your child’s learning from home, for example, by providing any stationery or subject specific materials they may require. Please check emails/twitter and our website regularly for updates. We are hoping to trail some different ways!

Mrs Rooney

Head Teacher

We hope everyone is staying home and staying safe.

Good morning Braidhurst and welcome to the first day of the new timetable. If you have not received your paper copy in the post yet… please be patient and keep an eye on your letterbox.

By now everyone should be able to log into GLOW, know how to check your email (outlook) and be using Teams. If you’re still having issues you can get some help by clicking here

We fully understand that working, learning & teaching virtually in an online environment has its challenges and that not everyone finds this easy. Please try your best to do what you can, to the best of your ability and to any deadlines set and reach out to your teacher if you need help.

Over the next few days your teachers will be posting tasks and other work for you to do online either via teams, by email, on the dept website or on twitter. Please check this on a regular basis.

We will keep the main school website, twitter account and school app up to date with any new information as and when it becomes available.

Stay safe everyone and May the 4^th be with you

Get excited – the new timetable starts TOMORROW (04/05/20). Paper copies of your timetable were sent out by post on Friday so keep a look out for the postman if yours hasn’t arrived yet. If you need to make changes to your options, please follow the instructions on the letter.

Remember to log into your GLOW email and Teams at least once every day from Monday and complete all tasks on-time, to the best of your ability. If your still having issues with GLOW contact us here

Parents/ Guardians should also check our website on a regular basis for the most up-to-date info we have on schools, covid-19 and so on.

Follow us on Twitter: @braidhurst and download the school app (click here) to make sure you never miss out on new info as its released.

Not long until the new timetable begins. By now ALL pupils should have logged into GLOW, checked their email and downloaded/ accessed Teams. For help with this – click here

We understand that online learning very new for some pupils (and parents) and has its difficulties/ challenges however pupils should do their best/ make as much effort as they can over the next few weeks so that they are ready for the new academic year ahead.

This means that from Monday 4^th May, pupils should be logging into GLOW, Teams etc – everyday! We understand this might not be possible during school hours however some of the tasks that teachers set may have deadlines (just like in school) therefore they should try their best to complete the work set by the deadline.

Timetables were posted out to all pupils today (Fri 1^st May 2020). If you are not returning to school and have a confirmed destination, please email Mrs MacDonald to let her know (contact details sent out with timetables).
