During this morning’s session, whilst the Nursery children were playing outside , a small fire started due to a malfunction in one of the heaters.  All the children from the Nursery and School were evacuated and the fire brigade arrived promptly .  Only after the Fire Commander had  checked the whole school thoroughly, were the children and staff permitted back in. The Fire Commander praised the staff and pupils for following the effective emergency procedures in place at the school  

Due to the fire, both Nursery rooms have been closed  but our Pre-5 service will continue to operate from the Gym Hall.  Parents should bring their children to the dining hall entrance of the school, which is located in the upper playground, next to the main hall where a member of staff will welcome you.   At the end of the session, parents should collect their children from the ICT room. This system will continue until the room has been re-decorated, which should be before the end of the week.

As a result of the very unpleasant smoke smell in the Nursery and back corridor, the Primary 2 and Primary 4 classrooms were unable to be used in the afternoon but will be back to normal on Monday.

Lunchtime and after-school clubs will be cancelled next week.

Please be assurred that procedures have been put in place to ensure the smooth running of the Nursery and School during this time. However, we hope you appreciate that there may be further changes.

The School Christmas Fayre will go ahead as planned tomorrow at 2.00pm.  We look forward to seeing you.

Thank you to all the parents, other schools and members of the community who offered us their assistance today.
