12 Days of Giving Christmas Appeal
A huge thank you to everyone for your amazing response to our 12 Days of Giving Christmas Appeal. Your generosity has left us overwhelmed and humbled. We have quite literally been left speechless. Father Kane reported that he has never known a school to give so generously. The scene before his eyes left him truly stunned and he cannot thank you enough for your support for Stay Connected and Coatbridge Foodbank. There are a lot of families both within Coatbridge and Airdrie who will be delighted to receive a food parcel courtesy of your great kindness and generosity. Faith in Action. On Thursday we propose to have a convoy of helpers (Pr. 7 pupils) take all the produce to the Parish Centre for distribution. It will be quite a spectacle!

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.

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.

Financial Support
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.
FIT@northlan.gov.uk
Please also contact the school if you would like the school to make a referral on your behalf.
School update
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
