Over the summer we had a 2 great new additions to our PE facilities, a dance studio and an outdoor gym. We understand that it’s important for pupils to know how to use the outdoor equipment correctly, so we’ve put together a playlist of instructional videos explaining how to use each piece of equipment. Pupils will also be shown this as part of their PE lessons over the coming weeks.

Pupils who have reached school leaving age may be entitled to Education Maintenance Allowance – EMA. Applications for EMA can now be made online via the link on the South Lanarkshire Council website. This is the preferred route for applications.
