🥳A huge welcome to our new families starting with Blackwood Primary School & ELC in a couple of weeks time 👋💖

There are a few useful pages and groups you can join, which will help you keep up to date with school news and events, and also join the community of parents from the shool to chat and get all of your questions answered...

1️⃣ Firstly, there is the Parent Council Page, which is a public page that anyone can follow. Public news and events are posted here.

2️⃣ Next, there is the Parent Forum group. This is a closed, private community for parents/guardians of children who attend the school and nursery. Weekly updates and important school announcements are often shared here. You can also use this group to ask questions and connect with other parents from your childs class or the wider school community.

3️⃣ Lastly, is our bonus ball syndicate group. This is a twice-monthly bonus ball syndicate, that helps us raise money to help the Parent Council to support the school and help to keep the cost of the school day down for our families. With chances for you to win up to £59 each time we play.

Yesterday, we held our annual car boot sale to help us raise funds for Blackwood Primary School 🚗

Despite a couple of showers, we had a great day and managed to raise over £1,200 for the school 🤩

These funds help us to support the school and fund numerous things throughout each school year, such as Sumdog & ClickView accounts for every child, Christmas & Halloween class parties, subsidising the P7 leavers hoodies and much more 🥰

A huge thank-you to all of our volunteers who helped the day to be a success, to all of our wonderful sellers, and to everyone who came in search of a bargain. Without each and every one of you, we couldn't keep supporting the school as we do 💕

See you all again next year! 😉
