A huge welcome back to all of our pupils from Primary 1 to Primary 7 and of course,not forgetting our nursery boys and girls! The summer holidays now seem like a dim and distant memory for many of us as everyone has fully embraced getting back into the swing of school life. All of the children look very smart in their St Bartholomew’s uniform, especially their brand new, bright white shirt and  smart looking school tie. Our staff really appreciate the efforts that parent’s have made in order that the children are so well presented. Thank you for doing this and also thank you in advance for your continued support with this. I always remind the children that if you look smart, you think smart. Very true indeed!

The boys and girls have settled exceptionally well and there were no tears from our new intake of Primary 1 children. What superstars! They have already managed to walk smartly and quietly in corridors, walk with their buddies to mass on Thursday for the feast of the Assumption, eat their lunch independently in the dining hall and sit beautifully through assembly on Friday. This is no easy task for 4 and 5 year old’s.

All of our pupils have displayed excellent manners and behaviour and we are all looking forward to a really positive year, with a very mature and sensible Primary 7 cohort modelling fantastic standards of behaviour for all of our younger pupils to benefit from. Thank you boys and girls.

As always, if there are any issues or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me,  Mrs McLean or Mrs MacIntyre from the leadership team in order that you feel reassured. We will endeavour to contact you within the same working day. Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Mrs Bolland
