Thank you to all of our families for helping to keep our school community safe – face coverings, one adult in the playground, 2m physical distancing, avoid car sharing and self isolate if you have symptoms.

Thank you to Mrs Dripps and Miss Richardson for creating lots of exciting activities for Word Book Day.

We hope that everyone has enjoyed reconnecting with remote learning this week.

Working with you and your Family…

We are looking forward to welcoming our P1 to P3 children back to school on Monday 22/2/21. A plan for the return to school has been emailed to all families. Connecting with key adults, working in small groups and reconnecting with friends will help support the transition back to school.

Our children in P4 to P7 will continue to learn from home. Class teachers will provide remote learning via Teams. The Scottish Government is expected to make an announcement on Tuesday 2/03/21 about the return to school for our children in P4 to P7.

Thank you to everyone in our school community for their hard work, patience and resilience during this period of remote learning .

We are looking forward to welcoming our Nursery to P3 children back to our campus on Mon 22 Feb. We will be in touch with further information following the First Minister’s update on Tuesday 16th February.

The deadline for families to apply for Best Start Grant School Age Payment is 28 February 2021.
 
The one-off £250 payment is currently open to families with a child born between 1 March 2015 and 29 February 2016. It can be used for anything from a warm coat to books and toys.
 
Parents who have deferred their child’s entry to school from August 2020 to August 2021, or those home educating, should still apply before the closing date.
 
The payment is part of the Best Start Grant, a package of three payments for families who get tax credits or certain benefits – including Universal Credit, Income Support and Housing Benefit.

Don’t forget, eligible parents can also apply for the new Scottish Child Payment at the same time they apply for Best Start Grant, making it easy for them to get the support they deserve.
