Lawmuir Primary School, Sacred Heart Primary School and Nursery, and Orbiston Nursery move to Orbiston Community Hub

I am delighted to confirm that your child is due to start at the new Lawmuir Primary School within Orbiston Community Hub, at Orbiston Community Hub, Babylon Road, Bellshill, ML4 2FA

From Wednesday 5 November 2025.

Over the course of the last few years, there has been a significant amount of planning, preparation and works carried out to complete this move and we are delighted the new build is almost complete.

The Council has also received approval from the Scottish Government for an exceptional school closure for Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th November 2025 for pupils. These closure days will be used to support staff to relocate effectively before pupils return on 5 November 2025.

During the two school closure dates on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th November, staff will ensure all pupils have access to digital learning, which includes the use of a range of online platforms and websites. We will also ensure that all pupils who are entitled to free school meals, will receive vouchers/payments through the council’s established holiday voucher process.

If you have any queries regarding the move, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Miss Tracy Hurst

Head Teacher
