28/9/23 Just a note to say a big ‘thank you’ if you have engaged (or tried to engage) with home learning over the past three days. Also, please remember we’re back to school as normal on Friday 29th September at 9am – see you all tomorrow!
27/9/23 Many parents and pupils have been experiencing problems accessing Google Classroom and Glow – this appears to be a problem arising from the numbers of users trying to access the sites for home learning (which, yes, may surely have been foreseen!). Teachers have been experiencing the same problems, so please be patient – avoiding peak times is definitely easier (but again, surely the whole point of providing home learning is for it to be done during the school day?). This is completely outwith Langcraigs’ control, but we sincerely apologise to you and offer our sympathy.

Welcome from the Head Teacher
Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Langcraigs Primary School’s website.
In Langcraigs, we aim to provide a happy, secure and health promoting learning environment where your child will be encouraged to work hard, to develop social talents and abilities and to take pride in their achievements. We strive to provide all our pupils with a wide range of learning opportunities and our aim is to encourage pupils to be confident individuals, responsible citizens, effective contributors and successful learners.
I look forward to working with you to achieve these aims and to provide a quality education for your child.
Our School Handbook is your guide to the school and an electronic copy is accessible via the ‘Information’ tab above. It, along with links to Renfrewshire Council’s website, will provide you with information on all aspects of life and work within the school. I hope that you will find all the information on and accessible via our website to be helpful and informative.
If at any time there is any matter you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Yours sincerely
Graeme Maclean
Head Teacher
