Brand new SMART Boards will be fitted in the Primary 4-7 classrooms this week. We’re absolutely delighted that St Bartholomew’s has, at long last, reached the stage where pupils and staff can benefit from the most up-to-date SMART Board technology. The new hardware will make a huge difference to learning and teaching across the school.

A Pupil Voice Business meeting was held on Friday. The chairperson from each group had the opportunity to share with me their group’s current work as well as their plans for the months ahead. The key points from this meeting will be posted in the ‘Pupil Voice’ section of the website later today. Well done to all the boys and girls for their fantastic ideas and hard work in improving St Bartholomew’s!

Please remember that the Christmas Fayre is this coming Saturday. Purchasing the new SMART Boards, along with the need to replace our stage lighting (the old 1970’s lighting was condemned during the rewiring and is not included in the upgrade) means we are urgently in need of additional funds, so please support the Christmas Fayre on Saturday and let your friends and neighbours know about it. It’s guaranteed to be a fantastic event!
