Return to School/Nursery
Dear Parent/Carer,
Please find attached information specific to Mossend Primary School and Nursery Class in relation to the return to school for pupils next week.
Many thanks,
Updated Information
Dear Parent/Carer,
We have updated our FAQ Section on our main website
(https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/nl/mossendps/) and hope that this will answer some questions and we will continue to update as information becomes available and is confirmed.
We would ask that you please bear with us as you may see updates from NLC before the school.
As you will appreciate, staff have not returned to school yet and therefore it can take some time to communicate and distribute information. We are working hard to get information to you as quickly as possible regarding nursery specific details.
Please check our website, app and Twitter and follow @NLCPeople for the latest information. You can also keep up to date with the latest North Lanarkshire Council school plans by visiting

Important Information from NLC
I hope you and your children are all well, we are looking forward to welcoming the children back to nursery on the 12th of August.
Please find attached a letter from NLC about the timetable for return.
We will be in touch with specific information about our nursery very soon. Please follow @NLCPeople and @MossendPS on Twitter and ensure you have downloaded our free school app for Apple and Android.

Update from NLC on return to full-time school
Good evening
Please see below a statement from North Lanarkshire Council.
Today’s announcement from the Scottish Government outlines the plan to reopen all schools on a full-time basis from August.
We are currently considering the practicalities and implications of this announcement and will await further clarification and guidance from government, particularly in relation to public health and scientific advice.
Our priority is the safety of our pupils and staff across our network of primary, secondary and ASN schools, as well as our early learning and childcare settings.
We understand that you will have questions, and as this news was only announced today, we will make further information available on how this impacts on our schools and facilities in the coming days.
We are preparing for pupils to return full-time to school on 12 August and we will be working closely with our schools and partners, including our early years and childcare provision to establish our plans, which we will communicate as soon as we are in a position to.
