Breakfast Club News

As part of the approved Budget Motion in February 2018, the Council agreed the expansion of breakfast services to all primary schools.

The cost for one child per day is £1.00. There will be no charge for pupils in receipt of free school meals. There is an agreed payment structure for families who have more than one child at school and wish them to make use of the breakfast club. The till will have 3 breakfast buttons. One child £1, 2 children £1.50 and 3 children £1.80 per day.

Please ensure you have completed a Free School Meals Entitlement Form and sent it on to First Stop Shop, Cumbernauld if you feel you may qualify for this service.

Staff within the Service are currently working to identify the children who as part of the universal P1-3 free school meals are not required to pay for the breakfast club if used.

Our breakfast club will commence on Monday 20th August from 8.15am.

Pr. 7 Leavers Night

We hope you have enjoyed the picture gallery that recorded the wonderful evening enjoyed by all our Pr. 7 pupils.  A huge thank you to our PTA who funded this event for everyone to enjoy.  A huge thanks also the Pr.7 parents who worked together to prepare everything for the evening.  It was definitely worth all the effort.  Our Pr. 7 pupils were entertained in the early part of the evening with a DVD that captured the personalities of all our wonderful children.  It will be a fabulous keepsake of their time here at St.Augustine’s.
