The whole school enjoyed a production of ‘The Rights of the Child’. They learned about the UN Conventions of the Rights of the Child and also learned about wellbeing and the SHANARRI indicators – SAFE, HEALTHY, ACTIVE, NURTURED, RESPONSIBLE , RESPECTED ND INCLUDED. We certainly have lots to reflect upn at our next assembly.

Welcome Back
The staff team are all looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school after our long summer break! We hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday. We are looking forward to welcoming our new Pr. 1 pupils and their parents and getting to know everyone over the coming weeks. School starts for everyone at 9.00am. Our Pr. 1 pupils are asked to go straight into their class with their parents to get some pictures for the family album. Our school day will end at 3.00pm as usual. Our Pr. 1 pupils will leave the building prior to 3.00pm to ease congestion on the first few days.
