The boys and girls in the photograph are our first ‘Pupils of the week’ from the new session. We had ‘Tea with Mrs B’ to mark this occasion and is part of the reward that the well deserving pupils from Primary 1 to Primary 7 receive. Good fun was had by all!

Our Primary 7 pupils have been working hard over the past week, in preparation for House Captain nominations. Each pupil had to prepare a speech, in support of their application, in front of primary 7 pupils. This is a daunting task, and many adults would find this challenging .However, our senior pupils coped very well with this task and their teachers had the pleasure of experiencing many confident and well prepared presentations.A big thank you to parents and carers for supporting the children in this endeavour.All of your friends at St Bart’s are very proud of you and I am looking forward to announcing the names of our House Captains on Friday, during assembly.
The position of House Captain comes with many responsibilities and allows the children to cultivate a more independent and mature attitude. Our new House Captains will also have a number of opportunities to represent the school on a number of occasions throughout the year. This is obviously great preparation for High School and indeed, general future success. Good luck everyone!

It is with great regret that I inform you of recent reports that dogs have been brought into our playground at 3pm. Could I please ask that this stops. The main reason for this request is to protect the health and safety of our pupils. Some children are frightened of dogs and the more serious and important issue of fouling in the playground and on the grass,could potentially result in adverse health risks for our pupils. Thank you for your support with this important matter and I would appreciate it if you could pass this information on to others.
