Maxwellton Primary School and Nursery Class is a non-denominational school situated in the Calderwood area of East Kilbride within South Lanarkshire Council. We aim to provide a welcoming, caring and inclusive environment where every member of our community feels valued. We are a Rights Respecting School and truly believe that every member of our community should work together to help one another stay on the right track. We do this through recognising and respecting the rights of every child and ensuring that we promote them in all that we do. We want every member of our community to feel that they are part of our Maxwellton family.
We aim to provide an education for all learners that is responsive, exciting and dynamic and provides opportunities for our children to become Successful Learners, Effective Contributors, Responsible Citizens and Confident Individuals.
We strongly believe that every child matters and we are very proud of our school. Please do not hesitate to come and visit us or contact us if you have any questions or queries.

Our lunch menus have been designed to ensure the pupils receive the essential nutrients and vitamins with increased fruit, vegetables, and fibre.
Free school meals are available for all pupils from Primary 1 to 5
We share a fully integrated building with Greenburn School which caters for 60 pupils who have specific learning difficulties and inclusion is at the heart of how we live and work together.
Our main method of communication is through Parents’ Portal.
We strongly urge you to use this fantastic platform as this will be the main source of information sharing.
We use a web-based application called ParentPay which allows parents/carers to pay on-line for school meals and other school activities. ParentPay offers the convenience of being able to make payments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and avoids the need for your child to carry cash to school.
We use the 'Learning Journals' app to keep parents up to date with their child's progress at Maxwellton Nursery. Parents are able to log into their child’s profile at any time and comment and interact with their learning. They can also upload their own home observations or achievements.
