World Book Day – March 2nd

Just a little reminder that our World Book Day Book Swap is free to all pupils. We can’t thank you enough for all the high quality books that have been donated to us. All pupils will have the opportunity to select at least one ‘new to me book’ when they visit the Book Swap on Thursday.

If any pupil would like to ‘Guess How Many Bookworms Are In The Jar’, they may have a guess for 50p. The winner receives the jar of ‘bookworms’ (gelatine free fizzy gummy worms).

Teachers will also explain to the children about our Decorate a Potato for World Book Day competition. Albert Bartlett in Airdrie have kindly donated potatoes for this competition. All entries must be in by Monday March 6th and further details will be given to the pupils on World Book Day.

School Update: Industrial Action (Jan 2023)

21 December 2022

Dear Parent/Carer,

 

Following recent industrial action by teacher unions, I am writing to inform you that the teacher unions, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA), the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) and the Association of Head Teachers and Deputes (AHDS) intend to carry out further industrial action over the national pay offer and their members plan to strike in January 2023.

 

The dates that will affect our school are:

Tuesday 10 January 2023 (primary and ASN primary schools)

  • All primary schools, primary additional support needs (ASN) schools will be closed to pupils including Redburn and Glencryan as through-schools.
  • All 57 term-time, school-based nursery classes will also be closed to pupils.

 

Please note that if you have other children, secondary schools will remain open to staff and pupils and the 23 family learning centres and 23 full-time nurseries will also be open.

 

Thursday 19 January 2023 (57 term-time school-based nursery classes, primary, ASN and secondary schools)

  • All primary, secondary and ASN schools will be closed to pupils.
  • All 57 term-time, school-based nursery classes will also be closed to pupils.

 

Please note, as above, the 23 family learning centres and 23 full-time nurseries will remain open.

 

I am getting in touch with you directly as the impact of the industrial action may mean that you will need to consider additional childcare arrangements over these dates.

 

As the school will be closed to pupils on Tuesday 10 January and Thursday 19 January 2023, there will not be any school meal provision on site, and there will not be any school transport, breakfast clubs or school crossing patrols.

 

Families in receipt of free school meals on the basis of low income will be reimbursed via a direct payment to bank accounts or via Paypoint voucher to postal addresses which may take up to five working days.

 

As you will understand, this is a situation that may be subject to change and I will inform you at the first opportunity if there are further changes to the school day.

 

Please visit the council’s website with the most up to date information on www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/industrial-action.

 

Regards,

Ed Clinton
