HT Update 21st November
Date of Issue: 21st November 2022
Rescheduled Parents Meetings
Due to proposed Industrial Action by members a number of teaching unions, we have decided to rearrange our Parents Meetings. These will now take place on Thursday 1st December.
In changing the date now, we hope to minimise disruption going forward. If you have already made an appointment for a Parents Meeting, we will transfer all existing appointments to the new date, so that your chosen time will remain the same. In a small number of cases this will not be possible and you will be contacted directly by the school office in order to make an alternative time.
If you have not yet made a booking please do so as soon as possible using information provided via Groupcall email.
At this stage we do not know how schools will be affected. However, given the anticipated disruption you may wish to consider making precautionary childcare arrangements should we have to close due to the impact of the industrial action.
If you have any queries regarding Parent appointments, please contact the school office between 10pm – 2pm and someone will answer your query as soon as possible.
Children In Need
Thanks to everyone who donated. We raised an amazing £140-61 for Children In Need. And had great fun in the process.
Retirement
At assembly on Friday we said goodbye to Grace our wonderful catering manager. We hope you enjoy your well earned retirement after a fantastic 24 years service!
Planned Industrial Action – Thursday 24th November
It is intended that all education establishments, except for our 23 individual family learning centres and 52-week nurseries based in school settings, will be closed to children and pupils on Thursday 24 November 2022 due to industrial action by teaching unions.
This means that all term-time (38-week) early years establishments, school-based nurseries, primary, secondary and additional support needs schools are expected to be closed to pupils and children on Thursday 24 November.
All buildings will remain open to staff during the period of the strike action.
All educational and early years establishments will open as normal on Friday 25 November.
What you need to know
Children and young people should not attend school or nurseries within schools on Thursday 24 November. Some ELC establishments will remain open. Please see the NLC Website fpr more information.
You may need to consider alternative arrangements for childcare.
As all early years establishments and schools facilities will be closed to children and young people, there will not be any school meal provision on site, and there will not be any school transport (mainstream and ASN), breakfast clubs or school crossing patrols on Thursday 24 November.
Families in receipt of free school meals on the basis of low income will be reimbursed via a direct payment to bank accounts or via Paypoint voucher to postal addresses which may take up to five working days.
Teachers, early years and other school support staff who are not striking, will continue to work from their place of work on the day of the strike.

Next Week at Lawmuir
Head Teacher’s Update
First Week of Term
It’s been a great first full week back at school. Everyone looked so smart in their school uniforms and it was lovely to hear the chatter and laughter as the children caught up with their friends and teachers after the holiday. The children are lining up so well, and earning lots of Lovely Line Points.
Lawmuir Values
Our expectations are simple and clear, to encourage all children:
- to be safe in all areas of the school and ensure other children are safe too.
- to be to successful by being ready to learn and work hard in class
- to be sensible by being respectful of all adults, classmates and other children
- to be smart by always making the right choices
By being safe, successful, sensible and smart , children are recognised by earning Robbie Rewards in and around the school. These rewards contribute to our House Reward System and are counted and updated each week at assembly.
When children go ‘Over and Above’ in class, this is also recognised and celebrated. Pupils who regularly go ‘Over and Above’ will be recognised through our weekly ‘School Values Awards’ ‘Head Teachers Awards’ and ‘Playground Awards’.
Pupils who have followed the school values all week will receive a green recognition sticker/stamp weekly on their chart.
Lovely Line Points
We also expect children to be safe, smart, successful and smart when lining up to come in to school.
We recognise when the children do this and award the class by awarding lining up points in the morning aswell as at playtimes and lunchtimes.
Our first weekly winners will be announced at assembly on Friday!
After-School Clubs
We hope to begin our after schools programme later in the term. Look out for more information from Miss Harper coming your way.
Flu Immunisation
This will take place on Monday 19th September for P1-7 children.
Permission slips have been received into school from NHS Lanarkshire and should be retuned as soon as possible.

Class Charters
As part of our continued work on Children’s Rights each class has been discussing UNCRC articles. Pupils have been selecting the articles most relevant to them and creating a class charter which they promise to uphold collectively during the school year.
Robbie’s UNCRC Article of the Month
As a school we focus on one or two articles per month.
This month’s article is 42 – Knowledge of Rights.
