St Bartholomews

Week beginning 20^th April 2026

Again, the last week of term was very busy. We had a visit from a parent with baby chicks for our upper school children to experience. They loved it!  What a great start to Spring.

The photograph above illustrates our commitment to positive attendance. We are introducing a new initiative to encourage increase attendance across all stages of the school. Thank you for your support with this. Every day in school counts.

Our Parent’s Evening was a great success with many of our parents and carers delighted with their child’s progress.

A huge thank you to our fabulous Parent Council who organised a coffee morning, Easter Bonnet parade, Easter egg hunt and decorate an egg competition. They also created an amazing Easter hamper raffle. Well done to our winner!

From all of the team at St Bart’s, we wish you all a happy and Holy Easter and look forward to seeing you all back on Monday 20^th April for the start of our final term. Thank you for your continued support.

Our new picnic benches have arrived. The children were able to use them at lunchtime today in the lovely sunshine.

Our amazing winners! The children above have been recognised for their artistic gifts and talents when entering the Easter Bonnet competition, set by the Coatbridge Federation. Our senior pupil won first prize and our infant and junior winners received medals for their fabulous work. Well done boys and girls!

Again, it was another very week in St Barts, last week. We had a visit from one of our parents who brought along baby chicks for the children to see – they absolutely loved it! It is wonderful to marvel at new life and appreciate the new season of Spring. Our Minnie Vinnie’s have been working hard to gather food items for our local food bank and delivered a large variety of much needed items on Wednesday. Thank you boys and girls and also to our parents and carers for supporting this very worthwhile cause.

Please try to celebrate mass during Holy Week and keep up to date with the times of mass at St Bartholomew’s Church. Our school consistently raise money for charities during this period and we appreciate your support, as always. Thank you in advance.

Have a wonderful Easter holiday and we look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday 20th April.

The week ahead looks like this:

Congratulations to this week’s Cool Class Cup Winners.

Congratulations to this week’s Winning House.

Well done to our fabulous pupils of the week.

Again, it was another very week in St Barts, last week. Our pupils especially loved assembly on Wednesday when we welcomed a visitor from SCIAF. Frances was very impressed with our wonderful pupils! Photographs are on the blog. Our P7 children enjoyed a fabulous trip to Gowanbank in Ayrshire as part of their residential experience which allows them to be a little more independent prior to High School.

Please try to celebrate mass during Lent and keep up to date with the times of mass at St Bartholomew’s Church. Our school consistently raise money for charities during this period and we appreciate your support, as always. Thank you in advance. The week ahead looks like this:

Our full group completed the abseil this morning! Some of us even did it twice!!!

Good morning from Gowanbank! We are up and ready to seize the last day of activities!

We braved the elements for more bushcraft fun today!
