FIRST DAY DISTASTERS

Today saw our children face there first day at the new school in Germiston and yet again Glasgow City Council have let our children down.

we have constantly highlighted the problems with safety on the new route to school yet Glasgow City Council had NO Crossing patrols on the roads apart from the one man left standing outside our old school building clearly to cross over the hundreds of children that won't be going there today.

Not only did we not have crossing patrols but our support teachers were left standing outside our old school building phoning round to find out why the school they were sent to was closed. Glasgow City Council is a disgrace and the councillors should hang there heads in shame over these blunders. God only hopes it improves by tomorrow.

Well done Mr Purcell your right we have all forgotten what you have done because of the smooth transition to our new school YEH RIGHT!!!

Stop Taking Start Giving

some of the parents from Barmulloch Primary are arranging a meeting with the Candidates and Councillors in Glasgow North East and doing a demonstation on the Road they children will now have to walk down to get to the new school we want to ask our politicians to stop taking resources from Barmulloch and start giving back to our community by building us a new school.

Hope its a sucess so far had a reply from almost every candidate to say they will be attending just one to go.

Need to make sure the press are aware of who will be there.

Calls for a change in law

Today I have been writing to some of the committees in the scottish parliament to ask for there support in progressing with a change of law which allows us to give our children adequate space in the classroom to learn.

Health and Safety currently have no legislation that we can find that dictates how much space is needed per child and we are trying to have this changed currently councils go on outdated capacity levels when they are looking at schools for closures and if adequate space was provided per child forcing these capacity levels to be re addressed the council would find it more difficult to close schools with higher roles.

The petition is available for signature at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/8/stop-school-closures.

thank you

Chat with parents

next time time this tuesday 8pm join us with any questions or just general chit chat. come along.

VOTES FOR WORK

If you are struggling like we are in Glasgow to get your council to listen too you over your school make sure the leading party know about it in the next election. In Glasgow the Labour council have been running scared for some time now and as parents manned polling stations during the European Elections handing out Labour Out not Our kids leaflets to people as they entered and journalists out for photos of angry parents it kept our fight in the public eye.

Vote for people who work for the city not against what you believe in make sure the city council know your feelings and make sure you are there as a strong front on polling day!!!.

Will our children suffer on new route to school

Hey all Just had an interesting email from a group called Sustran who specialise in getting children to take healthier options of transport to schools e.g walk, cycle etc.

Do you think our new route to school will encourage people to use cars more to transport our children to school or will the longer route mean our children walk more.

Give us your ideas and leave comments below all comments will be added together on the 31st of July and information facts will be passed on to Sustran and possibly used in our fight against the City Council so tell us your opinion now!!.
