Our week ahead is action packed with lots included in the school diary.  Please check your child’s bag for letters that will be issued this week in regard of data information and permission letters.  Our August Newsletter was issued last week.

Our first newsletter of the school year has been published and will be with every pupil today.  It has important dates for the term ahead and gives a flavour of the community life of the school.  Please take note of important dates for your  diary.  An electronic copy is also available on the drop down menu of our blog for easy reference.

Hello everyone, I hope you have enjoyed a well earned break away from school and enjoyed a holiday with your family.  It was wonderful this morning to see so many excited faces ready to start a new school year and to take on the challenges that lie ahead.  A huge welcome is extended to our new Pr.1 pupils and their parents who joined us today.  I can report that I have visited the classes this morning and all pupils have settled in extremely quickly to their new learning environment.  There were no tears but I don’t feel quite so convinced about the parents.  Please remember to check the school blog for regular updates in regard of the life of the school and up and coming news and events.

Friday was fun day across the school with classes taking part in outdoor activities including an obstacle course.  Some of our senior pupils ran a dance class as part of their Dynamic Youth Award.  A great day had by all!

The school will host an end of term Fun Day on Friday for all pupils.  Please note this is a non-uniform day for all pupils.

The school will be closed to all pupils for the EU election on Thursday.  It will re-open on Friday at 9.00am.

Please note that any child who leaves the school to go home at lunch time will leave the building via the main door and gate so that playground gates remain locked for security purposes.  Many thanks for your co-operation in this regard.

I have had the great pleasure over the last two weeks of reading the wonderful reports that have been written about your children.  They clearly identified your child’s successes this year, their involvement in the community life of the school and outlined their increasing skills, knowledge and talents.  Well done boys and girls!  We aim to have all reports issued on Friday, possibly sooner, and will include notification of your child’s class and teacher for next session
