Applications for Clothing Grants and Free School Meals

Applications for clothing grants and free school meals for the new school year 2024–25 are now open.

You should apply for a clothing grant and free school meals if you are on a low income and receive a qualifying benefit.

The Council makes payments in lieu of free school meals during school holidays. You can only get these if you have applied for free school meals, so if your child is in primary 1 to 5 (P1 to P5) where all children get a meal free of charge, you should still apply so you get this money.

Anyone with a child going into primary 6 (P6) who meets the criteria is encouraged to apply for free school meals to ensure their child continues to receive one.

If you apply for a clothing grant by Friday 12 July and include all the required supporting documentation, then the Council will process your application and make a payment to you before the start of the new school term.

Wellbeing Warriors

Wellbeing Warriors Update

The Wellbeing Warriors have been working hard to ensure Wellbeing is promoted throughout our school daily. Here is notes of importance and some dates for your diary for this term.

Monday 29th January

We have planned a Wellbeing Day where every class will focus on different activities to relax their minds, move their bodies and make them feel good! Please ensure your child is dressed in comfortable clothing. This can be pjs, loungewear, trackies/joggers etc. NO DRESSES, SKIRTS, DENIUM. Each class has been issued a timetable for the day. A reminder that some activities are outside and so appropriate footwear and jackets must be worn.

 

February

Fruity Fridays will begin from Friday 2nd of February. Before playtime, a tally will be taken for how many pieces of fruit each child has for their snack. At the end of a 4 week block, the class who brought the most fruit will win a prize. This will run monthly.

This months Wellbeing Wednesday will focus on Kindness to coincide with kindness week. It will take place on Wednesday 7th February.

 

March

On Wednesday 6th March, our Wellbeing Wednesday will focus on friendship to coincide with kindness week.

 

Happiness Heroes

A reminder that our Happiness Heroes are in the playground everyday. They can be identified by their badges. If your child is upset, feeling left out or needs someone to talk to, please encourage them to look for a Happiness Heroes 😊

Laudato Si Leadership Group

 

Introducing our Laudato Si Leadership Group.

This year we have chosen to focus on Pope Francis’ Quote 3.

There are not two crises, one environmental and one social, but one complex crisis. The solution means we have to combat poverty, restore dignity to the excluded and protect nature.

We have lots of ideas to achieve our quote.  We will keep our Blog up to date to share what we have been doing and our plans for the future.
