• Collection of Books Friday 8.30 - 2.10

  Fri 27 Mar 2020

  Dear Parents,

  As the Minister for Education and Skills announced yesterday that schools would not be reopening on Monday next, the staff has decided to put new arrangements in place to help with home schooling.

  Each teacher will email a weekly plan of work on Monday mornings. It will support the work children would normally be learning in school so that our pupils do not lose out on their education. By using more of their school books we hope to reduce the amount of printing needed and lessen the pressure on devices/computers.

  To facilitate a more organised learning environment at home, the school will be open on Friday between 8.30 and 2.30 for parents to collect remaining school books.

  Please enter the relevant classroom directly from the school yard. To preserve physical distancing, we ask that only two parents are in a classroom at one time. All children’s’ books are to be found at their desk. If you cannot come to the school, you can designate another parent to collect. Please bring a bag with you for ease of carrying. It would also be a good idea to check the corridor in case your child has left behind a coat/hat/scarf/gloves.

  This is a very trying time for all concerned but we will get through this. All we can do is our best.

  Wishing you good health,

  Anne-Marie Woods and staff

• Spring Fair Cancelled

  Fri 13 Mar 2020 PTA
  “Dear Parents,
  
  In compliance with the measures introduced yesterday as part of our country’s effort to interrupt the transmission of COVID-19, we are cancelling the forthcoming Spring Fun Fair, which was due to take place on Saturday, 28th March.
  
  We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those of you who were helping us to source prizes, or who had offered to help with set up or on the day.
  
  The level of uncertainty and unknowns surrounding COVID-19 means that we do not currently know if this will be a permanent cancellation for this school year, or a temporary postponement to the summer term.
  
  Either way, it is a huge blow to the committee and our fundraising efforts...but there are more important things in life right now, so keep washing your hands and stay safe! 🏻🧼🤚🏻”
