Pre-entrant packs

Welcome

Our first pre-entrant packs are now available to be collected from the front office ‘bubble’. These can be collected between 10am and 2pm this week. Unfortunately, at this stage, these packs are only for those where Udston is your catchment school. As soon as placing requests are confirmed we will be in touch with those families. Thanks.

New Intake 2021-22

As a result of the Covid 19 pandemic South Lanarkshire Council have revised the infant registration process to make it more accessible to parents online and to avoid parents having to approach the school in person.
The new process will be that on Monday 11 January 2021 the online registration form will go live on the SLC website and should be completed by parents for their catchment school. All registrations must be completed by Friday 15th January.
Please share this message with friends and family who have a child ready to start school in August.
Please note that if you are planning to defer your child you will need to register for this year, complete a deferral request and if this is accepted register for P1 again in January 2022.
Please note that if you wish to put in a placing request to another school you need to regsiter for your catchment school first informing them of your intention before completing an online placing request form on SLC site.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any queries regarding P1 enrolment.

Pupils had the opportunity to design a superhero mask, based around the theme of reading, to wear during the day!

Our Pre-Entrants from The Barnehage and First Steps came to visit for some paired reading with some of our P5 pupils, who will be their buddies next year.

open afternoon

On Thursday this week we are having our Pre-Entrant open afternoon between 3.30pm-5.00pm. This is for all Pre-Entrants and their families within our catchment area to have a look around our school and meet informally with the Headteacher, the Senior Management Team, and some of the staff prior to registration.

Next week we are looking forward to registering the children scheduled to start Primary One in August 2019.  Families are most welcome to come along to the school between 9.30-10.30am and 1.30-2.30pm from Monday 14th – Thursday 17th January 2019 to register their child.

Please note that it is only the parent/carer of each child who is authorised to register their child to start school. The school requires each child’s full birth certificate and two pieces of recent official documentation to clarify proof of residency.
