Parents/Carers,

Do you have a child aged 5-16, or are you a young person aged 12-21? If so, please complete our short travel survey for a chance to win up to £250 in Love2Shop vouchers.

The Scottish Government will soon be launching the Free Bus Travel Scheme for young people between the ages of 5 and 21. This aims to encourage greener travel patterns, and increase opportunities for young people to engage in employment, education and social activities and not be excluded due to travel costs. Transport Scotland will monitor the scheme as it progresses to check on use and impact. The first step is to try and understand current travel patterns so that any changes after the scheme is introduced can be identified.

We would be grateful if parents/carers of younger children (i.e. those aged 5-16), or young people aged 12-21 themselves, could complete this short travel survey. The questionnaire asks about current travel behaviour, and your thoughts about bus travel generally and the free bus travel. This should take no more than 10 minutes to do.

If you have any questions about the work or problems completing the questionnaire, please contact our Project Manager, Elaine Wilson-Smith, at elaine@wellsideresearch.co.uk or on 0131 677 5522.

The closing date for all responses is Monday, 24 January 2022.

Thank you,

South Lanarkshire Council.

Dear Parents/Carers,

I wish to let you know that this week there has a been a reported case of Covid in persons linked to the school.  You do not need to do anything unless you or a member of your family are contacted by Test and Protect as a close contact.  You are asked to note the guidance on self-isolation in the letter from NHSL Public Health.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Please ensure that you do not double park in our car park at drop off/collection times.  If there is no parking space available you will need to leave the car park and park elsewhere.

We strongly encourage children to walk, cycle, scoot to school, or ‘park and stride’ – park further away and walk the remaining distance to school.

It may be necessary to close the car park to all but staff, blue badge holders and school transport (eg taxis) should the parking issues in the car park continue, to ensure safety and to ensure that staff are able to park within the car park when arriving at work.

Thank you.

Mrs D MacKenna, Head Teacher

Dear Parents/Carers

The success of the SLC winter jacket campaign has been so great that unfortunately we have been unable to secure jackets for those who had requested it. So…. we would like to run our own winter jacket campaign! We would be very grateful for any donations of children’s good condition, warm winter jackets that your child may now have grown out of.

We are particularly looking for the following sizes (although any donations welcome):

Boys aged 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12

Girls aged 5-6, 8-9, 9-10.

Also, we are fortunate to have been given some funding from SLC for winter clothing.

If you need items such as: hats/gloves/scarves/tights/socks/wellies please click here to apply.   If you had applied for a winter jacket before I would be grateful if you could also complete this form, thank you.

We can’t guarantee to be able to provide for all requests, but we will do our best to provide for as many as we can, this will be on a first come, first served basis.

Mrs D MacKenna, Head Teacher
