Due to the increasing number of children having to attend our schools parents/carers are reminded of the following key principles from the supplementary guidance for school admission during COVID-19 school closures.

Only key workers who are physically attending their workplace or who cannot fulfil their critical functions when they are working remotely from home may qualify for places.

Where alternative options are available – e.g. where childcare/remote learning can be provided or supported by one non-key-worker parent or carer who is able to work from home – these should be used instead of children attending school in person.

These principles are in place to ensure that we keep the number of children in school each day to a minimum to ensure that safety of both pupils and staff, as the more children we have in then the more staff we require to bring in.

Thank you for your continued support.

Well done to everyone – we’ve survived three weeks of home learning!!  Thanks to everyone – pupils, parents, carers, grandparents, brothers, sisters and family friends – for your time, patience and creativity when helping our pupils with their learning. You’re all doing a great job!

The next paper home learning pack for every pupil will be available for collection from the school office from Monday 1^st February (between 9.30am and 2.30pm please).

Can P1/2 and P2 return their reading books from the first home learning packs please?

Also, a variety of stationery items – pencils, rubbers, jotters – will be available for collection so let us know what you need to help with your child’s home learning lessons.

As always, we’re only a phone call or email away so please get in touch if we can help in any way.

Have a great weekend.
