A visit from famous inventor James Goodfellow!

                                                  

We were delighted with our visit from James Goodfellow inventor of the first bank card who came in to tell us all about his achievements as a St Catherine’s pupil. James was delighted to hear all about our work with STEM and will come back and celebrate our STEM day with us in March. What an honour to receive a visit from a famous inventor from Scotland’s Engineering Hall of Fame. Anything is possible for a St Catherine’s pupil!

Return to school 2017

We look forward to seeing all of our children on Tuesday 15th August, doors open at 8.55am.

We look forward to welcoming our new P1 children on this day at 9.15am.  We ask that you bring your child to the back door to line up and you are then welcome in to the classroom for a quick photograph opportunity and a chance to see where your child will be sitting. We look forward to seeing you then!

Childcare evaluation

To ascertain likely demand and preferences of Parents/Carers taking up the increased early learning and childcare entitlement from 2020, the Council is undertaking a survey which will run from 12th June to 26th June. The survey will be available on line at the following link

Your support in completing this survey is greatly appreciated. Early learning and childcare may not apply to you now, but it may in the future and this will help us to shape services for our families in Renfrewshire.
