High Blantyre Primary takes pride in forging links with local community groups.
Bonnie Blantyre
In 2019 the group won the ‘Keep Scotland Beautiful Award’: Bonnie Blantyre burst onto the Beautiful Scotland scene in 2018 and has gone from strength to strength, led by the wonderful Susan Lindner Kelly. Our classes take pride in their local area and often take part in Litter picks and planting flowers in the local area.
Friends of the Calder
This one of Keep Scotland Beautiful’s most proactive anchor groups for the Upstream Battle campaign, surveying and litter picking and running with our behaviour change training to develop a catchy ‘glass litter’ prevention campaign. The group was also awarded a Spring Clean Hero award which recognised the most significant change in their community. As a school, pupil’s and staff love to get involved with all these initiatives to help keep our Calder clean as it is a very valuable learning resource.
