Good Afternoon

I’m delighted to say all your lovely children have settled into school well and the learning and fun has begun.

I am sure I have met nearly all families by now but if I haven’t I am Karen Kelly, Principal Teacher in Infants (P1 – P3) & our school’s Family Learning Coordinator. I work on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday and I’m available to answer any questions etc on those days. I am usually in the infant playground around 9am and and my email is gw13kellykatherin@glow.sch.uk if you wish to contact me.

Below is a link to our annual Family Communication & Home Learning Survey. Please complete this ASAP to help us get it right for all our families.
