Numeracy Survey – September 2022
A survey about Numeracy at Shawhead Primary was conducted in September 2022 to gather the views of pupils, parents and carers. Click this link to access the results and how we are using the information to improve Numeracy across the school.
School Photographs, Updates and Communication
The main online communication used is Twitter. Information, photographs and updates are regularly posted to keep parents and carers informed about the school and nursery. If you would like to follow us on Twitter, please make a friend request to @ShawheadPS for the school or @ShawheadN for the nursery class.
School Entrances
Due to the high volume of building work taking place around the school, it has been decided that the bottom gate at the Shawhead flats will be locked and out of use for pupils and parents. There are a lot of large vehicles and heavy equipment in this area and in order to keep children away from this, the gate will be closed for the foreseeable future. Parents and carers will be informed if this decision changes. The top gate and the side gate at the lane are both open for use.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast clubs
Primary school breakfast clubs provide an excellent start to the school day.
They aim to:
- provide a healthy nutritious meal
- help children to be alert and ready to learn
- encourage children to mix with their friends
- improve attendance and performance throughout the day
- reassure parents that their child is safe when dropped off in the morning
All primary schools in North Lanarkshire operate a breakfast club.
Shawhead Primary breakfast club is open from 8.15am until 8.45am.
The breakfast consists of cereal, milk and toast. This is free to pupils who are in Primary 1 to 4 and for pupils in Primary 5 to 7 who receive free school meals.

Duty Of Candour Report- August 2021
All health and social care services in Scotland have a duty of candour. This is a legal requirement which means that when things go wrong and mistakes happen, the people affected understand what has happened, receive an apology, and that organisations learn how to improve for the future.
An important part of this duty is that we provide an annual report about the duty of candour in our services.
