Bring a Parent to School Day is back!!!
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)

Our classes will be showcasing our Active Literacy and Numeracy resources and we will have parental information packs available for you to take away, to help you when supporting your child’s learning at home.
We look forward to welcoming you all back into the school building and thank you in anticipation of your support with this.

Reporting to our Parents
Throughout the school year, we will use a variety of strategies to report to our parents on a regular basis. It is important that you can access each of those detailed below. If you are experiencing difficulty with any of our communication platforms, please contact the school for support.

As we are a paperless school, the School App is our main method of communication when reaching out to our parents quickly with important matters.
To download the app, please search PSA in the Apple of Google Play app stores.
School Blog
The School Blog will be used to share whole school matters and events with our families.
Please find the link below to the main page. You may find it useful to save this as a shortcut on your mobile device to enable you to access it easily.
The many tabs on the School Blog can be used to navigate a wealth of information about our school which is shared there.
