We have just been notified by the Department that our first school closure date for staff training this year will be on 8th October. The school will be closed to pupils on this date to facilitate staff training on the enactment of the Redeveloped Primary Curriculum. There will be three further school closure dates for this training during the school year. We will share these dates with families as soon as they are confirmed.

Class Meetings, Dates and Times

You will have received an invite to your child’s Class Meeting, which will take place in their classroom from 9:00 - 9:30am on the dates given:  These short meetings are an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and hear about the year ahead, including classroom routines, learning and homework expectations, communication and how we can work together to support your child throughout the year. We hope you will be able to attend and look forward to seeing you then.

Industrial Action Update:

INTO and Fórsa members have recently voted in favour of industrial action, including work-to-rule measures. We are currently awaiting further guidance on what this will look like in practice in our school. We will keep families updated as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your understanding.

Annual  Table  Quiz

The PA will also be running a Table Quiz on Thursday 22nd of October in The Bank Bar in the Dropping Well. It is a very fun night and a chance to meet other parents in the school.
