Cost of the School Day

Cost of the School Day @LHS

In Lesmahagow High School our position statement shows how we strive to ensure that all of our young people are equipped with the tools to reach their full potential. By reducing the cost of the school day for our young people experiencing any of the negative effects that poverty can have on their learner journey we are able to help them succeed. The School Day costs can be understood through identifying and tackling the barriers in each of the following areas:

Accessing resources

At Lesmahagow High, we want to ensure that no young person misses out on education due to cost. To help us tackle this, we have created a request form which can be collected from the school office or Pupil Support.

We also have a drop-in session after school on a Friday where we have items of uniform, stationery, clothing (PE kits etc), and sanitary products.
