Due to forecast worsening weather, schools will close to pupils from 1.00 pm today. We are working with contractors to bring forward scheduled school transport but some transport may arrive after 1.00 pm. Staff will remain with pupils until collected.

We seem to be experiencing problems with the school phones. If you need to contact the school urgently please email ht@st-michaels.n-lanark.sch.uk
