As we continue to experience life in lockdown amid the trials and tribulations of home schooling as a teacher, pupil or parent, it has been a challenge .However our  teaching staff remain committed to their duties and are daily  uploading tasks and suggested activities onto glow  to ensure children have a focus and are keeping active with their learning.  It has been great to see  how so many of your children are replying to their teachers and uploading pictures to share their experiences.We thank all our parents who are working with their children in a creative and supporting way.

Theses times make it challenging for parents to contact our school directly during the closure of the building.

However if you require any support with your child’s learning at home please contact us :

Mobile:     07903 976504

email:     ht@st-edwards.n-lanark.sch.uk

We will continue to update parents on a regular basis  by text or twitter when we are able to distribute other learning resources such as jotters.

Solihull Approach – Courses Available

The Solihull Approach is all about emotional health and well-being. The Understanding Your Child course includes finding out about the child’s brain development and how it affects behaviour. It helps parents understand more about why their child behaves a certain way when they are angry, having a temper tantrum or trouble sleeping. You will also learn the importance of playing for your child’s development.

The Solihull Team are keen to ensure that families are aware of the free access to the online courses.
