New applications for School Age Payments opened on the 1st June 2020. This is a £250 payment made around the time a child normally starts Primary 1 to help with the costs of a child starting school. Below is the link to the website which has the latest information and stakeholder resources available including social media posts.

We wish to reassure our parents/carers that provision will be made to enable learning to continue at home should your child be absent due to Coronavirus symptoms or self-isolation reasons.
Please see the letter in your child’s homelink today.
Thank you for your patience whilst we work to make this available to our children and families. We aim for this to be in place by the end of this week.
Keep up to date on the school app and website.
Following advice given by South Lanarkshire Council, parents’ evenings, events and extra-curricular activities (after school clubs) are cancelled until further notice.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

If anyone is able to donate trousers for our swap rail in the main entrance we would really appreciate it…we are running low!
A reminder to regularly check Homelink folders for letters and communication. Letters can be sent out on any day of the week. Thank you.
If you are interested in helping out in the school, we are always really appreciative! Please check your child’s home link for more information about this.
There will be some spooky treats at Toasty Thursday tomorrow, all thanks to Anne & Lizzie Falconer. Happy Halloween!
A reminder that the Primary 1 Reading and SHRE Workshop takes place tonight at 6:30pm. P1 parents should drop their child at the disco then make their way up to the Primary 1/2 classroom. This is an extremely worthwhile and informative talk and we hope to see as many people as possible there.
