It is with great sadness that we bring you news of the passing of Miss Mary Prior, former Head Teacher of St. Joseph’s Primary. Miss Prior spent most of her teaching career here in St. Joseph’s and was fully devoted to the education of our children. Please remember her and her family in your prayers.

Welcome to the Summer Term, I hope you had a lovely Easter. Already the diary is beginning to fill up with school events , excursions and activities. We would like parents to become more involved in planning exciting learning opportunities. On Wednesday the first of May from 6.00 pm – 7.00 pm the teaching staff will be hosting a drop- in session to share the topics being covered by their class this term.
We value your involvement and would love you to contribute any new ideas and suggestions. Please come along and join in this new joint venture.

Dear Parent/Carer
I am aware that not every parent is able to access information via the Parent Council Facebook page and would like to share information regarding the cost of the panto and how it is calculated. The total cost of the tickets and the cost of the bus are added together then any contribution from the parent council is deducted and the balance divided by the number of children. There is no VAT added to the cost of the ticket and no VAT charged by the bus company.
I hope this information is helpful. Should you require any further information please contact me.
Regards
Mrs Burns
