Key Dates and Information

Shawlands Parent Calendar 2025/2026

 

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We are pleased to share with you the school calendar of events for the year ahead. We want to give you as much notice as possible so that you can plan in advance. There are some events that are still be added on – we will make you aware of any updates as soon as possible.

Please be aware that, in extreme circumstances, some dates may need to change. We will always do our best to keep you informed and notify you as soon as possible should this happen.

 

Those dates highlighted in green are when parents are invited into school (if it is their child’s class).

Other dates are events in school for you to be aware of.

 

We appreciate that there are a number of events close together in places, but this is simply how the dates have fallen. We hope you find having the calendar in advance helpful, and thank you for your continued support.

 

Kind regards,

 

Shawlands Primary School

 

 

 

 

Class assemblies will be 3:00pm – 3:20pm – only two adults per child to attend the assemblies please due to hall size.

Most inspire days are in the afternoon approx. 1:30pm – end of day but more information will be sent out nearer the days for this – only one adult per child will be able to attend the inspire day.

 

Please bear with us with class assemblies and inspire days. We hope they will be a really positive experience. As this is the first year we are running them, there may be some teething problems. We are always open to any constructive feedback about these days from a parent’s perspective- what you enjoyed or how they can be improved.
