St. Gerard's Primary

We are so proud of our fantastic choir who performed at the Glasgow Music Festival yesterday.  Unfortunately they did not gain a place this time.  There’s always next year!

You will be aware that we have recently updated our homework policy in consultation with parents.  Please read below:

There will be a Fairtrade coffee morning on in the school on Thursday 26th February from 9.15 onwards.  We would love to see you there!
