Abronhill Primary School and Nursery Class

A Red weather warning has been issued for Friday 24 January 2025, between 10am and 5pm as Storm Éowyn is expected to bring very strong winds and widespread disruption.

The Council has taken the decision to close all schools and education establishments including early learning facilities on Friday 24 January.

We understand the impact this may have on parents and carers, however the safety of people is paramount. No school transport or breakfast clubs will run.

We will provide updates on the impact on other services through the normal Council social media channels and the website here: northlanarkshire.gov.uk/weather

As always, we would like to remind you that learning resources are available via NLC’s Virtual Classroom for P1-S3 pupils, and eSgoil and Scholar are available for senior phase pupils.

We would like to invite all parents/carers in to the school for a parent showcase event on Tuesday 28th of January. Parents/carers will have the opportunity to go up to their child’s class and have a look at what they have been working on this month.

Primary 6 have won December’s class of the Month. The class have decided to have a PJ day as their reward. P6 pupils will be able to wear their PJs to school this Friday (Friday 10th January) if they wish. Well done, P6.

Please see below for 2025 P1 enrolment information for you child.

We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. School and Nursery will reopen on Monday 6th of January 2025.

Our School Captains have been working hard on driving forward positive behaviour in the school and have planned a new incentive for the whole school. This incentive is called ‘Class of the Month’. Each month a class will be selected to win ‘Class of the Month’ and they will win a class reward. Our School Captains have worked hard to produced an information PowerPoint which include all the information on how classes win and what they rewards can be. We are very proud of the hard work our 2 Captains have put in to this. Well done Amelia and Ella!

Class of the Month

We still have tickets available for both our afternoon show and evening show performances. If you would like any additional tickets, please send money in with your child and we will send these tickets home. Our evening show starts at 6.15pm on Thursday 12^th December. We ask that all children are dropped off to the school at 5.45pm. Our Friday performance will start at 1.15pm.

This year we will be selling raffle tickets at both performances for a chance to win either our Christmas Hamper or our Christmas Booze Hamper. We will also be selling our Christmas Show programme at the door for a donation. The front cover of these programmes have been designed by 2 very talented pupils, Lucy Church P3 and Eve Penman P7.

We look forward to seeing you all.
