New Primary 1 parents 2020

During school closure times we aim to communicate with you electronically in order to share information about Primary 1 induction and transition.  These uncertain times call for new ways of working as we move together to navigate through this.  We appreciate your patience as we work remotely on our corporate systems from home.

We will be sending regular transition and induction updates to you via email then will post them on this webpage too.

We can’t wait to have your children join us in Primary 1 but until we know more and this is safe to do so we will use electronic methods to share information with you and get your children to share information with us.  We will also be phoning you to discuss your child’s transition to P1.

We want your children to become excited about starting school and want them to find out as much as they can prior to this.

We have added children from Partnership nurseries who will be attending our Primary 1 to our EYC Seesaw group.  This will allow parents to become familiar with Seesaw prior to starting school and allows  for another method of communication.

Please note that all our transition and induction information is subject to change due to the current COVID-19 situation.  We will inform you of any updated information when we are in a position to do this.

Watch your email inbox and this space for further updates.
