St Clare's Primary School

This week is Health Week and there will be a series of events happening throughout these next couple of days.

Here are some of the events which will be happening throughout the week:

Walk to School -  This is a challenge which involves every pupil. If you're child/children walk to school or walk part of the way they will get a sticker on the class chart. If you're child/children gets the car or a bus they will get a different colour of sticker.

The school nurse will be talking to the infants about how inportant it is to keep their hands clean.

The Fire Education Officer will be talking to p2/3 upwards about fire saftey.

The Dental Nurse will be talkin to p1a-p4/5 about Oral Health

Judo Instructors will be in the school on Wenesday and during the day they will take P1a-P3 for a session on Judo.

Road Saftey experts will be in the school throughout Thursday and Friday to talk to pupils about Road Saftey.

Some children will be relaxing with Hand Message Therapy on Thursday.

Badminton Instructors will be giving Badminton lessons to the upper school.

At St. Clare's it is our fervent hope that parents will enter into a partnership with the school to provide for its pupils a happy, safe and secure educational environment instilling into the children a pride in their school and locality. Your child will cope best when he/she knows that we are all working together, presenting the same standards and expectations for his/her education and future. We are always pleased to welcome parents and to encourage your involvement in the school.

I hope that this website will help to inform you about St Clare's School, and I look forward to developing a partnership with you and ask you to support our school aims and policies for the education of your child.

In partnership with Glasgow City Council, we aim to

1. Create a learning environment in which our children feel happy, secure and eager to learn. Through our inclusive Catholic ethos, we will ensure the formation of children who always give their best for God, for themselves, for their families and for other people

2. Raise the attainment of all children across the curriculum, setting challenging but acheivable targets for each child within a school ethos of excellence

3. Work Flexibly and creatively to ensure access to the curiculum for all children.

4. Develop each child's spiritual, moral, physical and emotional maturity in partnership with parents.

All staff, ancillary and teaching, are fully committed to their pastoral role in ensuring that every child feels happy, valued and successful within the school. We at St Clare's endeavour to develop in our children not only a love of their faith and of learning, but also a desire to reach beyond the confines of the school, to take their place in the community and in the world at large.

I know we can count on your support

The Eco Schools are starting an action plan of what we wil be doing.

Our first few tasks are things that will lead the school on to a bronze award.

Then silver, and then hopefully the green flag.

We are delighted to announce that our Bronze Award was sent to the school before the Easter Holidays.

Next step...Silver!!
