North Lanarkshire are now moving to a hub model to deliver school support for key workers in 10 schools across the north, central and south regions. This should mean that essential key workers can send their child to a school that is still within the area near to where they live.

Children of St. Gerard’s who need to access the emergency childcare for key workers should now attend John Paul II Primary.

The hub schools will be open between 9am and 3pm. School meals will be provided to those attending, and those eligible for free school meals, between 12.30pm and 1.15pm.

We would once again like to stress the importance of only accessing this childcare if both parents are key workers and all other childcare and shift pattern options have been exhausted. In order to stop the spread of COVID-19, it is essential that those who can stay at home do stay at home.

We hope that all of our families at home are safe and well.
