Welcome to our Website!

Welcome To Bowhouse Primary School's Website

Welcome from the Headteacher

Dear parents/carers,
On behalf of the staff, parents and children, I extend a warm welcome to you and your child as part of our school community at Bowhouse Primary School and ELC.
We hope you find the information on our website helpful as we begin to share your child's learning journey with you.
Whilst education continues to undergo many changes to prepare children for the demands of a rapidly changing world, the central aim at Bowhouse remains the same; to provide the best possible education for each child in our school, challenging and supporting them to achieve their potential.
Our staff are dedicated, caring and hard-working and are aspirational for all our children. We create an inclusive, positive and nurturing atmosphere in school and seek to involve and work in partnership with families to establish positive home/school links to ensure the best possible outcomes for each child.  
If you have any questions or would like to find out more information about our school and ELC,  please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Best wishes,

Laura Swan
Headteacher

Whole school & ELC - Mr Dick/end of term arrangements

Tomorrow is Mr Dick's last day at Bowhouse PS.  A reminder that to honour his last day and his time at Bowhouse that we will be holding a guard of honour for him at the end of the day.  The classes will line up at 2:50pm and we invite any parents/carers to join us at 2:55pm.  Please keep the main entrance free for classes to line up.  Parents & carers can then line up along the path that leads out the school to Tinto Drive.  Let's make this guard of honour a long one!

Please remember that tomorrow is an early lunch - 12 - 12:45pm.

A reminder that children can come to school dress down on Friday and that we would welcome any donations for the charity SIMBA in memory of little Jamieson.

Please note that there is no church service at Kirk of the Holy Rood on Friday.

Lunch will be at the normal time on Friday and a limited lunch menu will be available.

The school & ELC closes for all children at 1:30pm.  Please ensure all children are collected on time.

All children return to school and ELC on Wednesday 13th August at the usual start and finish times.  Alternative times have been shared with parents/carers of children starting P1.

Thank you.

You will be contacted when your order is ready for collection.

Special Collection - Dress Down

This Friday the children are welcome to come to school dress down.

We normally ask for donations on dress down days and when we go to the church.  Unfortunately we are unable to go to the Kirk of the Holy Rood on Friday morning but would like to request donations for a very special cause.

Little Jamieson Stuart McDougall was born sleeping on the 7th June.  He was the much loved little brother of 2 of our children at Bowhouse and, in memory of Jamieson,  we would like to hold a special collection for the charity SIMBA.

We hope that as many people as possible are able to offer something for this very special charity and that it will go some way to comfort Jamieson's family at this very difficult time.

Donations can be handed into the front office or sent into school with your child.

Thank you in advance for any support you can offer.

Mrs Swan

P1-P7 parents/carers

We are looking for any donations of school uniform your child has grown out of.  As we are moving to the new school uniform colour in August,  we wont be accepting any red sweatshirts/cardigans. We would be delighted to have donations of skirts, trousers, pinafores that still have plenty of life in them!  Please hand them into the front office tomorrow so they can be packaged and rehomed before the summer!

There will be a pop up swap shop on Thursday 26th June after school if anyone wants to pop in to collect some uniform items for the new session.

Thank you
