Today our new Primary 1 pupils were given a school payments letter.

As a local authority North Lanarkshire Council are taking cash out of the process of paying for school meals/tuckshop/snacks.

For you to use the online payment service, you need to register with MyAccount, the simple and secure sign-in service for accessing online public services in Scotland. It provides people living in Scotland with the ability to set up an online account and use it – using a single user name and password to access a growing range of online public services.

We are delighted that the whole school from nursery to primary 7 will be enjoying a trip to Edinburgh Zoo on Monday 27^th of June. Children should wear their school jumper and polo shirt and should bring their packed lunch and a small snack in a disposable bag. All children who receive a free school meal can order a packed lunch in advance from the school kitchen, forms will be distributed nearer the time. The trip will be fully funded by the school and there is no cost to parents. Children should not bring any money with them on the day as they will not be visiting the shop. All school staff will be attending on the day along with our teaching students.

Well done to this week’s Star Pupils.

Great work completed by out Top Dogs this week.

We have received information regarding the upgrade of our Sports Pitch.

The project will start in July 2022.

North Lanarkshire Council have invested in the upgrade of the redundant red blaes pitch
within the school grounds. The space will now host
• a 30m by 15m multi use games area (MUGA),
• a polymeric covered 60m running track,
• a smaller tarmacked area with basketball hoop, and
• the remaining blaes will be covered in grass with new nine a side socket goals
installed.
• The MUGA will have two full sized basketball hoops and four cross court mini goals.
• The line painting within the MUGA will incorporate basketball, netball and football
courts.
The MUGA will have public access from the top end of the court, only outwith school hours.

Public Access
This public access gate will be closed during school hours. The community access will see
local clubs and families in the area benefit from free access to the MUGA.
The build is due to start in July 2022 and will be completed by September 2022.
We hope the investment will improve educational attainment by complimenting the physical
education curriculum and support one of North Lanarkshire’s ambitions ‘to encourage the
health and wellbeing of people, through a range of social, cultural and leisure activities.’
