Online Resources & Parent Information
Your day might not work round the normal school day. That’s where our After School Care comes in.
Download our handbook for information about our breakfast club and after school care services. The handbook covers Kelvinbridge, Milngavie and Newlands.
At all times, we try to be as flexible as we can. Even if you have never used our services before and an urgent meeting occurs, we will collect your child at the end of the school day and take care of them until you arrive. You can be assured that someone they know will be at After School Care for them to play with.
During the summer holiday periods, younger children – or children coming to the school for the first time – can use the summer Holiday Club as a settling-in service. As we move around the school more in the holidays, children become quickly familiar with their surroundings.
The ethos of the service is to be here to meet your individual needs as a family; we are here to help all parents and we thoroughly enjoy working with your children. An example of our support for parents is that if they give us a call 5 minutes before arriving, we can have the children ready for collection. This can be helpful if rushing home for children to go out to clubs in the evening.
Contact us for more information or call 0141 342 5487.
Parents and carers of our youngest pupils can access our latest Early Learning & Childcare handbook here.
We have introduced a new online payment system. iPayimpact will provide you with a convenient, secure and verifiable way of making online payments for school meals and trips.
Once registration is complete, you will have access to your account statement and will be able to manage your payment history and automate online payments. This is a simple and secure way for parents and carers to make trusted cashless payments and efficiently manage school purchase.
