We hope everyone has had a lovely, restful summer break. Please see below for some back-to-school updates:

P1 pupils will begin on Wednesday 27th August from 9:00am - 10:00am. They do not require a snack on this day.

From then, P1 pupils will finish at 12:30pm for the month of September.

School will resume for all pupils on Thursday 28th August (P.E uniform is to be worn on this day) from 9:00am to 12:30pm. The same schedule will apply on Friday 29th August.

Normal school hours will resume on Monday 1st September, and school meals will be available from that date.

P.E. days will continue to be Tuesdays and Thursdays. P.E. uniform should be worn on these days only.

A reminder that, starting Friday 5th September, the whole school will finish at 2:00pm every Friday, as communicated in June.

Breakfast Club will commence week beginning 1st September. The cost is £2 per child per day, and it will run from 8:15am - 9:00am each morning.

Booking is essential through the EZPayments App.

After-school clubs will commence week beginning 8th September.

Further information will be communicated in due course.

Due to Mrs Grimley's continued absence, we send her our best wishes for a speedy recovery. In the meantime, Mrs M. Brennan will teach the Primary 5 class until further notice.

We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone again refreshed and ready for the new term ahead!
