Spring Message from the Head Teacher

Dear Parents and Carers,
Our Spring term ends today and I would like to thank you for all of your support and kindness, especially over the past few weeks.
As you know in normal circumstances we would be making our way over to Wellington Church today for our Spring Assembly, so I have written a Head Teacher’s Address to send to the pupils and to you, which you can read by clicking this link: Spring Assembly-April 2020
The school may be currently closed but we are still a whole school community and on behalf of the staff I wish you good health, peace and happiness over the Spring Break.
Best wishes,
Karen McAlaney
Head Teacher
