    Shawlands Parent Calendar 2026/2027

    Dear Parents/Carers,

    We will be updating the planned for the academic year 2026/2027 in September.

    We want to give you as much notice aspossible 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.
