Applications relating to the new term will be accepted by First Stop Shops from the first week in June.~~ Early submission is advised to ensure clothing grants are made and free school meals are registered for the start of the new session.

New College Lanarkshire Partnership

Many thanks to New College Lanarkshire who went above and beyond to provide our Pr.7 pupils with amazing learning opportunities last week.  The boys and girls were introduced to a wide variety of labs that focused upon STEM, dental science and  biology.  The children returned full of enthusiasm after an action packed morning.

ks to New Lanark College and all their staff for an amazing visit.

Summer Fair

Our annual Summer Fair was a resounding success due to everyone’s great support.  A huge thank you to our amazing PTA who worked tirelessly to pull everything together to make the day such a success.  An amazing £2200 was raised on the day which really is an outstanding sum of money.  A huge big thank you for all donations and for your suport and generosity on Saturday.  All money raised goes towards providing all children with as many exciting opportunities as possible.

Rag Bag Reminder – Collection 6th June

Our Eco committee recently issued all children with a bag for the Rag Bag Appeal.  We are continuing to raise awareness of textile recycling within our school community.

We are hoping you will all have a clear out and help us collect unwanted wearable clothing, paired shoes, handbags and belts which will be exported to Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. We cannot accept uniforms, workwear or household items such as bedding, towels etc.

Any suitable donations, no matter how small should be placed in the bag and be dropped off at the school before 6th June please.

Thank you in advance for supporting this event. Should you require additional bags please contact Mrs Drummond or the office.
