Next Wednesday 21st September, before you are invited to visit your child’s class for Bring a Parent to School Day, P1, P1/2 and P3 parents/carers are invited along to hear about how Phonics is delivered at the early Primary stages. We are keen to show you how you can support your child at home in order to improve their Literacy abilities.
Please enter via the Community Entrance to join us at 1.45pm in the hall before visiting your child’s class at 2.15pm.
We are delighted that Covid mitigations have now eased and we can welcome our families back into school!
We would like to invite parents/carers into school to visit your child’s class, see their work and meet their teacher.
This will take place over a series of Wednesday afternoons leading up to the October holidays. (Classes, dates and times can be found below).
Please enter the school via the Community Entrance. At the end of each session, parents/carers will be able to leave, to go to their child’s exit point. This will allow our Covid cleaning procedures to take place before the school bell rings and children are brought outside.

Wednesday 21st September 2.15-2.45pm: P3 (Mrs Elliott)
