Scotland Learns – Parents and Carers

In these uncertain times, parents, carers and families are under a lot of pressure, especially in supporting children to continue to learn. No-one expects parents and carers to take the place of teachers.

This weekly newsletter has ideas, hints and tips for parents and carers, including activities that children can do on their own at home or families can do together.

These activities are intended to complement the activities provided by your school and help your child have a broad range of learning experiences during the school closures. Follow this link to subscribe to the Parents and Carers newsletter.

Ascension is a Christian holiday. The word “ascension” means “going up”. According to the story told in the Bible, Jesus ascended (went up) to heaven with his apostles. The holiday is celebrated forty days after his resurrection. The story tells that Jesus’ body went to heaven, and that in heaven he sits at the right-hand side of God the Father.

School Uniform for 2020-2021

Our uniform suppliers have asked us to pass on this message:

We have been busy adding all the schools we supply to our website, so all parents can now order their back to school uniform online with home delivery. Our head office and factory is still currently closed, but we’d like to encourage parents to get their order in sooner rather than later to help slow the back to school rush. We hope to return to work from the 18th May, when we will begin shipping our online orders.

Parents can find their schools online shop by using this link – https://www.border-embroideries.co.uk/schools. Please could you help us promote our online service to parents who wouldn’t usually buy their uniform online so everyone is made aware they can still get it whilst schools and our 6 retail stores are temporarily closed. Our online cut off date for guaranteed back to school delivery is the 20th July 2020.

We hope all staff and pupils are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time. If you have any queries at all, please get in touch with us via email info@border-embroideries.co.uk
