Parents as Partners!
If you would like to be a volunteer for your child's class as the link between parents and the school, please contact Ms Crossan. We are always looking for parents and carers to be involved in the life of the school!
This would involve 2 main roles:
Being the link to the Head Teacher to flag up any queries parents of your child's class may have, which would be answered quickly. Your role would be to share this information with the parents of that class so that information reached everyone quickly through class WhatsApp groups or whatever means you already have set up with parents of your child's class.
Coming along for a cup of tea and a chat with the Head Teacher twice a term, where you can discuss matters affecting your child's class. We are keen to work alongside parents to build the links between home and school. Any ideas are welcome and will be discussed. The timings of these chats are agreed at each meeeting so that we can accmmodate as many volunteers as possible.
We want all classes to be represented and all parents and carers to feel a part of our school, and hope that this way, all parents and carers will be kept up to date, have a go-to person for each class, and that the school and the Parent Partners can build a strong relationship, supporting our pupils in their education.
Please email headteacher@blackfriars-pri.glasgow.sch.uk, or call the school on 0141 429 2444 if you would like to find out more. If you need an interpreter to take part in this, we can arrange this, so please consider volunteering!
Thank you to those parents who have already volunteered for this and are helping us to maintain strong home-school partnerships.

Motivational Mondays!
To support engagement in learning, everyone in Blackfriars PS takes part in activities from 2-3pm on Monday afternoons. There are three 5-week blocks each year. The activities are run by pupils, staff, partners, and some of our talented parents too!
If you would like to become involved, volunteers meet with a small group of children each week to help them develop skills in your chosen area. This could be a sport, craft, musical instrument, team game, reading for pleasure time, creative writing, dance, fun with multiplication, inventing your own song for a chosen topic...this list goes on!
Please email headteacher@blackfriars-pri.glasgow.sch.uk or phone the school office on 0141 429 244 for more information.
It would be lovely to have your support in making Mondays even better for our pupils!
