Summer critical childcare for key workers.

We will continue to offer a critical childcare service for the children of single parents who are key workers or for children with two parents if they are both key workers. We are also supporting children and young people from vulnerable families.

We have already contacted key workers and families who are currently using our service. If you think you meet the criteria for this support, you can find out more and how to apply on the council’s website.

Parents Questions Answered by Steven Quinn.

Earlier this month, Renfrewshire Council asked parents and carers to submit their questions on schools and nurseries. Thank you to everyone who took part, there was a phenomenal response with more than 1,000 questions.

Your most-asked questions were put to Steven Quinn, Director of Children’s Services, which you can see at

You can also find answers to many more questions there too.

Thank you for your continued patience and support for our school/nursery during this difficult time. We hope to see you back in our school/nursery as soon as it is safe to do so.

Step Unit News

Glow Activity Update

 

Dear Parents, Carers and Students

I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe at this difficult time.

As we move into the new term we intend to provide a range of activity for our Step Unit Students in order to give the opportunity to maintain Language and Maths Skills and to give the opportunity to try some fun and interesting activities on a daily basis.

It is also an opportunity to keep in touch with their favourite teachers and to keep up contact!

This will be achieved using Glow Classrooms and Microsoft Teams.

All students have a glow login and password. Please encourage our students to log on and check in with the activities, they might even enjoy them, and will also be able to interact with classmates and friends.

We will continue to stay in touch on a regular basis and we can solve any issues as they arise as we adapt to new ways of keeping in touch and supporting each other.

We will also post a timetable of activity on social media outlets.

 

Keep healthy and stay safe.

 

With all best wishes.
