Bargeddie Primary School enjoys a good reputation in the local community.  Strong partnerships have been established, over a number of years, with many different community groups e.g. The Safety Zone, Amey, Viridor, Lochside Manor Care Home, Lanarkshire Community Food and Health Partnership, Bargeddie Parish Church, Community Police etc. Invitations are regularly extended to members of the local community to join us in fund raising activities and we appreciate excellent support from local businesses. Throughout the school session, pupils participate in local competitions and festivals.

Throughout the school year, pupils contribute to a variety of charities such as St Andrew’s Hospice, Red Nose Day, Children in Need, Show Racism the Red Card etc. We also work in partnership with other local schools in our area. We work closely in partnership with our joint campus school, St Kevin’s Primary School and enjoy good relations with Coatbridge High School and its associated cluster schools.

Lots of our pupils regularly attend events that are held in The Safety Zone. The Safety Zone offers a range of community activities and events for the people living in Bargeddie. You can find out about their great work by visiting their website here.

Childcare

Many of our pupils utilise local child care facilities both before and after school. We have one local ‘After School Club’ based in the community wing of our school. Many of our pupils utilise this facility. Pupils are collected from the school foyer by staff and taken safely to their base at the end of the school day. Any information regarding this service or other childcare should be directed to the school office.
