Scots Night- 12th February 2025

Lanark Primary School and Early Learning & Childcare Parent Council proudly presents the return of the annual Scots Night!

We are holding our ‘Scots Night’ on Wednesday 12th February to showcase our learners’ achievements following our Scots language work in school.

The night also provides an opportunity for some of our musicians, singers and dancers to show off their talents.

If your child is taking part, you will hear by letter from the school but in the meantime, please find the details below:

LPS and ELC Main Hall

Doors open at 6.15pm

Entertainment starts at 6.30pm

Come along and join us for an evening of brilliant entertainment including Scottish poetry, songs, dancing and music from our talented pupils. Selected children from each class will present their poems for the chance to win the Mari Muir Award and the award for the best P7 Scots project will be announced.

• Like last year, there will be free entry for adults and children. To ensure safe numbers, tickets will be issued. Performers will be allocated their tickets as detailed in the letter that will be issued soon. Remaining tickets will become available soon (2 per family) - for those who would like to attend.

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
