Social Security Scotland’s new Best Start Grant School Age Payment

Social Security Scotland’s new Best Start Grant School Age Payment went live yesterday Monday 3 June 2019 for applications on-line and by phone. Please find attached a Q&A factsheet which provides further information.

The payment provides families in Scotland, who are on a low income, with £250 to help with the costs of a child starting school.  People can apply around the time a child normally starts Primary 1 and if they get certain benefits or tax credits.  For this year that means if their child is born on or between 1 March 2014 to 28 Feb 2015.

Applications can be made from 3 June 2019 until 29 February 2020 either:

• online at www.mygov.scot/best-start-grant or
• by Freephone helpline on 0800 182 2222. The helpline is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm.

The Best Start Grant School Age Payment is the third of the Best Start Grant package of payments to families in Scotland who are on a low income to help support their child during their early years. For help to apply for all benefits or entitlements including the Best Start Grants, please contact the Welfare Support Team: telephone 0800 090 1004 or email welfare.support@highland.gov.uk. (Where appropriate home visits can be made).

SPORTS DAY UPDATE

Nursery Sports Day

Following on from last week’s postponed Sports Day, we would now like to confirm that the new date for Nursery Sports will be on Thu 20th June. This will also incorporate the Nursery Fun Day with Sports Day beginning at 9.30am on the MUGA with the Fun Day kicking off from 10.30-12.30.

Parents are welcome but not required to stay for the fun day.

SUMMER FAYRE 2019

This week sees our MOL Summer Fayre on Thursday May 30th from 4-7pm! We have loads of exciting stalls lined up to keep everyone busy and entertained, including such favourites as the tombola, raffle, lucky dip, BBQ, hook a duck, beat the goalie, zorb balls, sponge the teacher and even, for 2019, the return of gunge the headteacher!

P6 and P5/6 pupils have been working extremely hard to pull this event together and we are grateful to them, the wider school and staff who have worked hard preparing for the fayre. We would still appreciate further contributions for the fayre – this includes prizes for the raffle, filled jars for the jar stall, teddies and general prizes for the teddy and general tombola. These can be dropped off at the school office or taken into school by your child during the week. Finally, we would appreciate your support filling the home bake plates that went home on Friday for everyone to enjoy on the day.

Thank you to everyone for your support and we look forward to seeing you on Thursday for the MOL Summer Fayre 2019!

Wear Yellow Day Friday May 31st

This year we are supporting Highland Hospice’s Wear Yellow Day on Friday 31st May. This means everyone is welcome to come to school wearing yellow on Friday in exchange for a donation for the Highland Hospice.

There will also be sunflower pin badges, wristbands and balloons on sale, each for a suggested donation of £1.00. These will also be available to purchase on Thursday at the summer fayre as well as raffle tickets for a dedicated Highland Hospice L’Oreal hamper, the proceeds from which will go to Highland Hospice.

Highland Hospice is a charity close to the hearts of many in our community and we are pleased to be able to show MOL’s support for it in this one-off appeal. Thank you in advance for your support as we join in turning the Highlands yellow for one day!
