Equity- Reducing the ‘Cost of the School Day’

We know that those disadvantaged through poverty often struggle with living costs. This affects members from across our community. In order to support our children and you as parents/carers, we include the ‘Cost of the School Day’ as an item on each month’s newsletter. We will use this opportunity to share the range of support which is available to you.

This month, we would like to draw your attention to the 'Help Yourself Stand' that will be set up for P7s visiting Lockerbie Manor in May. If you have any 'outdoor clothing', including waterproofs, under-armour, zippies, boots and rain jackets that are in good condition that you could donate, please bring these to the collection point at the School Office. Please mark on the bag clearly that these are for the P7 Residential.

P7s will be issued with a list of clothing needs and a meeting will be arranged on our return (details to follow).

Many thanks for your continued support with our strive to 'reduce the cost of the school day'.

Our Vision:

At Lanark Primary School and ELC, learning is at the heart of all we do. We strive to provide rich learning experiences that build confidence and self-belief. We foster a ‘can do’ attitude which enables everyone to reach their full potential.

We work in strong partnership with our parents and the wider community to ensure that all feel safe, included and valued within our school community…and beyond.

Our Aims:

These are:

to have a clear focus on learning and teaching

to provide high quality teaching of core skills (e.g. literacy, numeracy- including problem solving)

to provide real contexts for learning, including outdoor learning, and link learning to support pupils’ understanding of the world around them

to develop the key personal qualities of resilience, perseverance and a positive attitude to learning (being ‘ready to learn’)

to encourage skills for life, learning and work
