November 15, 2020 Mrs Docherty Leave a comment

Congratulations to the final group of children who received the Sacrament of Holy Communion this weekend. Our good wishes go to the children and their families who waited a long time to celebrate their child’s First Holy Communion. Many thanks to Father Michael and Deacon David for making the services so special and memorable for all the children. The children were wonderful and a credit to themselves, the school and most importantly to their families.

Many thanks to the parents who remembered to wear a face covering when around the school gates and at drop off and pick up times. This is a message and requirement for the safety of all.

Nursery News

November 8, 2020 Mrs Docherty Leave a comment

Our new nursery is now fully operational and bursting with life. A huge thank you to the nursery team led by Mrs. Vicki Dunn. The Nursery Team have done an outstanding job in getting everything ready for our pupils and in welcoming some new starts last week. Children are now getting use to a new learning environment including daily visits to the gym hall for a cooked lunch each day. Exciting stuff. It has been wonderful to sit at work and hear the activity of the children playing outdoors as they make great use of their outdoor play area. I am sure the nursery team have lots of exciting ideas about how they want to develop the play area in the months ahead.
