A great time was had by all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good evening,

Attached is a letter from our Executive Director, Derek Brown and it contains important information about our return to school in August.

The letter outlines that there will be an in-service day on the 11th of August (on which pupils do not attend) and all pupils will attend for at least some of the time in the days covering the 12th, 13th and 14th of August. Exact details of when your child will attend on the first week back will be issued next week. We will ensure all siblings attend on the same days and times.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have all waited together for more information about our return in August.
Kind regards,

Martyn Dinsmor

Letter to Parents 7th June 20

St.Pat’s and NSPS have pulled their resources together to offer jotters to children as they need them. Trays will be outside the building away from main doors from 11am. It is important to both schools that we ask you take only what you need and please observe social distancing.

Over the weekend, every pupil has received their Glow Teams email address, username and password (if you have not, there may be an issue with your parental email contact address, please email HT@st-patricks-motherwell.n-lanark.sch.uk for this to be added to the system).

Microsoft Teams uses each pupil’s Glow log in and guides to installing/downloading are provided below. Please don’t worry if it all seems confusing when first setting up, I can confirm we are all experiencing this together! We’ll get there in the end and we are here to support if needed – what we don’t know, we’ll find out.
