Attention parents of children in Primary 1-3.

The game runs on any normal laptop or desktop computer (including Apple Macs) and the app works on iPhone, iPad, Android and Kindle tablets (this may be dependent on the operating system of your device)

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
