Children will enter and leave either from their classroom door or wing door.  The classes are taken out by their class teacher at the end of the day and children wait in line to be dismissed one at a time . The children waiting in line ensuring their safety at what is a very busy time.  At the end of the day we ask parents to stand back on from the doors to allow for easy dispersal. We encourage parents/carers to stand in the same spot each day and share where this spot is with their child as this allows your child and their class teacher to immediately see who is there to collect them. Children can walk home from Primary 4 onwards however a letter of permission must be given to the school in advance.

We are so grateful for your patience at the end of the day on the first few weeks as we get to recognise familiar faces and where to look for them!

Some of our children attend Woody's  O.S.C. , if your child is registered to attend O.S.C. then  staff will come and collect them from their class at the end of the day.   You can find out more information on the out of school care provision by emailing braeheadps@glow.sch.uk . In addition, many children at Braehead get picked up by childminders, our community childminders are familiar faces to us and are well practiced in the P1 end of day arrangements. 

Please keep us informed with who is picking up your child. We get to know many faces at pick up over the year including grans, grandads, aunties, uncles, friends, neighbours &  childminders!

If your child feels unwell during the school day we will contact you to ask you to come and collect them. Please ensure our office has the most up to date contact details for you and your nominated emergency contacts.

We will look after them. Trips, scrapes, bumps and bruises can happen during the school day and your child will be cared for and given the necessary first aid. Your child will also be given a first aid slip to take home to inform you of the details of the accident and treatment received.

We phone home for all head bumps and for injuries which need further investigating or are causing distress.

We would love to help you and by asking us directly you can be assured that information is accurate.
