SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY

We play a prominent role in developing children educationally, emotionally and socially in the hope that they will benefit greatly from the facilities available at the school and from the involvement of the school in community ventures. We work together to develop the children’s awareness of themselves as part of our community. We have a Business Partnership with Heartstart and Strathcarron Hospice. We endeavour to maintain a high and positive profile in our community and invitations are given to our services and assemblies, sports day and Christmas concert. The expertise of members of our community is enlisted in many curricular areas. We welcome visitors into our school to share their knowledge and expertise and show that we appreciate and value their time and service. We are so lucky to have so many ‘Friends of Balmalloch Primary’. We have fostered strong links with the local senior citizens and we entertain them each Christmas and provide afternoon tea and a concert in June.

We raise money and give donations to many charities including Strathcarron Hospice, Save the Children Fund, Kilsyth Food Bank, Yorkhill Hospital,  and we sponsor an Ethiopian child through World Vision.
