Final Consultation on Summer School Holidays 2021- 2025
In May 2019 the Education Operations Committee considered the public feedback on the school holiday pattern. They approved retaining the general pattern of school holidays of previous years with the exception of bringing the summer holidays forward by one week. The Committee requested that further consultation should be sought to agree when the summer holidays should start from 2020-21 to 2024-25.
We are seeking the views of all parents, school staff and children and young people.
The survey opens Monday 9th September 2019 till Friday 20th September 2019. The link to the survey is available here

If you are entitled to Free School Meals, you must apply online before end of September.

Following on from a review of the school week in November, the changes have now been confirmed and will commence at timetable change in June 2019.  The letter below will be distributed to parents and carers via pupils.

There are a lot of concerns these days about keeping children and young people safe online. With this in mind, and to protect your child from harmful content on the internet, we recommend that you talk with your child on an ongoing basis about what he or she is accessing and about how to stay safe online.  Reminding your child to tell you about anything upsetting that they encounter online is very important.  Having regular and open dialogues about what your child is accessing will encourage them to talk to you if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable with any content online or bullying behaviours. 

Monitoring of your child’s devices can also help to ensure they are safe online.   Seemingly innocent and harmless children’s apps and videos can be used to share disturbing content and to encourage children to contact individuals that they do not know.  Regular monitoring of your child’s devices will bring this to your attention quickly and allow you to take appropriate action.

Hello My Name is Jackie The school Counsellor.

I am located where the first aid room used to be. Please feel free to call in to see me at any time if you feel the need to talk or just need time for you.

My room is a safe and relaxing area, where everything is treated with the upmost respect and confidentiality. I am there every day Monday to Friday 8.25am to 3.25pm. You can also see me as a drop in at lunch times from 12.40 until 1.35. If I am not in my room 2 talk I will be in the games room, please feel free to come and get me and we can go to room2talk.

It is a place where you can come and explore your own thoughts, feelings, worries and concerns, even if you think these are the smallest of issues, because to you these are important.

I am not here to judge you in any way at all.

If you do not like to talk very much we can do crafts, such as

• Painting/art and crafts
• Finger puppets
• Rice play therapeutic
• Colouring/drawing
• Memory jars
• Chalk and salt
• games

These are just a few of the things that may interest you.
