LGBT Charter Mark – Silver Level

LGBT Charter Mark – Silver Level

Dear Member of the School Community I write to you with the great news that we have achieved LGBT Charter Mark status at Silver level. To me our drive to attain this award is not just about the sphere of LGBTi, it is about equality in the general sense whether that be related to gender, social status, religion, race or nationality. Some of the values of our school are: “Equality, Inclusion, Tolerance, Kindness and Respect”, and so attaining this award is very much in line with our morals and beliefs. One of the things that makes me proudest about being head teacher of the school is the excellent way our young people accept and befriend any new individuals in the school community, no

Parent/Carers of Children Returning to School

Parents/carers of children returning to ELC and P1-3 I know that many parents and carers will be pleased that their children are able to return to their early learning and childcare (ELC) setting or to school next week. Some families might have concerns about safety. I’ve been asked to write to you to explain the reason for the decision to enable younger children to return to ELC and schools. As always, this decision has been informed by a range of scientific and clinical evidence. One key finding is that younger children are less likely to get or pass on the virus. Because of this, and the measures that are in place, we know that ELC settings and schools are low-risk settings for these

Half-term Hub Support

To assist colleagues directly dealing with the health response to the pandemic, we are providing childcare support over the school half-term holiday from Monday 8 to Wednesday 10 February at six school-based hubs. This service is only for key workers who are assisting with the ongoing health response with the NHS, other emergency services, or who are involved directly with the vaccination programme. We have very few childcare spaces and this service should only be accessed if absolutely necessary for children of key workers that are in early years, ASN, primary or secondary schools. The childcare support will be delivered by Culture and Leisure North Lanarkshire, Active Schools and Community Learning and Development providing a range of activities. Schools are not open due
