Happy Monday to everyone!  I hope that you are all keeping well and are following the guidelines to keep healthy.  I wanted to give you an update on what I have been up to in the last week!

The past week has been a very busy one for myself and all of the other Head Teachers in our area.  Our school is now a Hub School for the Bellshill Locality, which includes Viewpark, Tannochside and Birkenshaw.  The schools involved are…

Cardinal Newman, St. John Paul II, Holy Family, Sacred Heart and St. Gerard’s.

Bellshill Academy, Lawmuir, Noble, Mossend, Aitkenhead, Tannochside.

Laburnum Family Learning Centre is also a hub and is taking in children from the area too.

St staff of St. John Paul II were the first to offer their services in setting things up to ensure that all children and families were made to feel at ease and welcomed in a strange school with new faces and new routines.  Thank you to all of them.  True professionals, as always.

Going forward, staffs from all of the schools have been put on a rota to work which enables us all to keep healthy and safe.

The children who are attending the Hub are children who’s parents/carers are BOTH Keyworkers in either Category 1, 2 or 3.
