St. Barbara's Primary School

Penny the Panda    

Dear Parents/Carers and Children,

A very warm welcome to St. Barbara’s Primary School! We are looking forward to your child and your family joining our school community shortly.

The transition process from Early Years to Primary takes place over several months and will include visits to see the children in their Early Years setting.

There are two sessions in school for parents and children to attend. Both sessions will run from 9.30am – 10.30am with the children going to class for activities while parents/carers remain in the hall for salient information.

Tuesday 14^th May 2024

This session will include curricular information and a visit from our uniform provider, Logoxpres.

You are very welcome to look at uniform items and sizes – however you are under no obligation to purchase uniform from our supplier – you can buy from any retailer of your choice.

Tuesday 21^st May 2024

This session will include practical arrangements for the new term in August and a number of guest speakers who will tell you more about the school community and Parish.

You will have an opportunity to hear from the school cafeteria team and the children will have a packed lunch to take away afterwards.

St. Barbara’s Primary 6 Buddies will be on hand to meet with the children and to introduce themselves to you also.

Welcome to all of our new Primary 1 children and to all of your families!

Many of you have been using the story of ‘Everywhere Bear’ in your Early Years’ Centres. Everywhere Bear travels to lots of different places and has lots of tales to tell.

In St. Barbara’s we have Penny the Panda. 

Our Primary 7 Transition Ambassadors have created their very own stories and video clips with Penny and her friends to give you more information about the school.

There are six clips altogether.

To watch the clips you will need to login to the St. Barbara’s YouTube Channel:

Thank you!
