1,140 hours are available to all children aged three to five years old, as well as some two-year-olds. The focus is on flexibility for families, as well as an emphasis on quality and a strong connection with outdoor learning and learning through play.

Eligibility for entitlement

It can get a bit confusing working out when your child’s free entitlement can start depending on when their birthday is. The funding dates for 2021/2022 are as follows:

• Children who reach 3 years of age between 1 March 2021 and 12 August 2021 can take up their ELC placement from August 2021.
• Children reaching 3 years of age between 13 August 2021 and 28 February 2022 can take up their ELC placement the day after the child’s 3rd birthday.
• Parents/carers of children applying to North Lanarkshire Council from another local authority should be guided by the Cross Boundary Protocol.

Applying for an early learning and childcare placement

Children will normally attend an ELC establishment closest to their home but you can apply to any establishment, in accordance with the admissions policy, should you wish to do so.

Applications should be returned to your first choice of ELC provider by Friday, 12 February 2021.

Applications can be viewed or downloaded here.

We are truly overwhelmed as a school community with your response to our 12 Days of Giving Christmas Appeal. It has left us both speechless and humbled that there is such kindness and generosity among us.  Faith in action across our community for those who need it the most.  We thank you.  There are only two Giving days left – Mon is ready meals but this really could be anything from a packet of pasta to tinned meat.  Tuesday is tinned fruit.  We are sure both Father Kane and  all involved with Stay Connected and Coatbridge Foodbank will be amazed with your generosity.

We have no words!!!!

Please contact the e-mail address below if you require financial assistance.  The Financial Inclusion Team is a North Lanarkshire department that supports families to identify if they are eligible for benefits/ financial supports.

Please also contact the school if you would like the school to make a referral on your behalf.

Please make sure your child wears a cardigan or jumper to school each day.  Although the classrooms are warm they have to remain well ventilated therefore an extra layer of clothing is very beneficial.  If children are warm they can easily remove a layer of clothing. We don’t want children to feel cold in class.

Please arrange to make online payments for your child if they either visit the tuck shop or have a school lunch.  This pertains to pupils from Pr. 4 – 7.  The canteen does not accept cash as all payments have to be made online.  Many thanks for your co-operation in this regard

Despite not being able to go to Motherwell Theatre this year for our annual outing to the Pantomime, Motherwell Theatre are going to come to us.  We have registered for Lost in Pantoland with classes showing the pantomime from the 16th Dec.  We are also fortunate that the PTA have also paid for a virtual panto that all classes can look forward to on Festive Friday this week.  The PTA are also providing juice, sweets and crisps on the day.  Many thanks to the PTA.

Many thanks to everyone for the astounding response to our Christmas Appeal.  Momentum remains high and children  enjoy taking part and seeing the daily increase in food donations.  If you wish to respond to Father Kane’s Toy Appeal please hand in toy to the school office  Please see schedule for this week.  Monday is tin of soup day!
