Primary Interim Menu 2020 (002)
Scottish government have confirmed that children in primary and secondary school who receive a free school meal on the basis of low income are eligible for an additional £100 winter hardship payment. We encourage parents whose child is eligible for a free school meal to apply this week so they can receive this payment – www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmealsandclothinggrants
Anyone who has previously applied for a free school meal for this school year (2020-21) will receive the payment directly into their bank account before Christmas. Anyone who applies between Monday 30 November and Friday 18 December will receive this payment by mid-January at the latest.
P1-P3 pupils are not automatically eligible for this payment as every child receives a free school meal regardless of their family’s circumstances. We would urge all families on low incomes with a P1-P3 child to apply for free school meals by Friday 18 December.
Nursery children of low-income parents aren’t entitled to the winter hardship payment, but are entitled to the £27 free school meal payment to cover the festive break. If you are eligible, please apply at www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmealsandclothinggrants
Further information on the COVID winter hardship payment (£100 per child) can be found on Scottish Government’s website.

There will be a collection for Glasgow Mission on the morning of Friday 30th October at the school gates. A request for toiletries has been made to help support this charity. Should you wish to donate items, Mrs. Ferguson will have a trolley at the school gate on Friday morning from 8.45- 9am. Thank you for your support.
Halloween Treats
To ensure that children do not miss out on their Halloween trick or treat, Langbank Community have kindly donated treat bags which will be given out at the end of the school day on Friday. All items have been quarantined in school to keep everyone safe. Thank you to Mrs Doherty and Mrs. Adams for helping to organise this.
The pupils are allowed to come to school dressed in their own sports clothes (no football items of clothing please) and suitable trainers to take part in the sponsored dance-a-thon activity. We would also encourage the children to bring a filled water bottle to school with them.
Regards
