A Warm Welcome
Welcome back to all our staff, parents, and pupils as we begin another exciting year at Lanark Primary School and Early Learning and Childcare.
It’s been a lovely start—the children have returned full of energy and enthusiasm, and they’ve settled quickly into our routines. We’re incredibly proud of each and every one of them!
A very special welcome to our new ELC and Primary 1 learners, as well as to all new pupils who have joined us across Primary 2–7. We’re delighted to have you as part of our school community.
Naturally, some children may feel a little nervous as they adjust to school or nursery life, and that’s completely normal. If you have any concerns about how your child is settling in, or if there’s anything we can support you with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Throughout the year, there will be opportunities for parents and carers to visit the school in person. In the meantime, you can take a look at our general tour here:
Lunch Price Increase
Please note that on our return from the Spring Break (Monday 20th April), the school meal price for Primary 6 & 7 pupils will increase to £2.71.
Milk will remain priced at 30p.

Tesco Grants Programme (In-Store Vote) / ELC Improvement Plan
We are delighted to inform you that we have been successful in securing a blue token voting box in Lanark Tesco from Tuesday 28th April until the end of July 2026- so please start saving your blue tokens for us!
The money raised will go towards supporting our ELC Growing Together, Learning Together Sustainability Project as part of the ELC Improvement Plan- this project will also continue into next session.
Calling all keen gardeners! Our plan is to develop our garden project after the Spring Break and are looking for some volunteers to come in and be part of our Sustainability Garden Project Team. You would work alongside the staff and children to create a wonderful garden area which we can all be proud of. If this is something you would be interested in, you would need to complete a PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) scheme application form- the school would complete and organise this for you. If you would like to help out , or if you have anything that you think we could use in our garden, please contact the school office- any help would be greatly appreciated!
