    Welcome Message - Term 2


     

    🤗 🏫Welcome back for Term 2 🏫🤗 

    We look forward to welcoming back our pupils and families in the morning. Hopefully everyone had a relaxing break and are looking forward to school.

    Covid-19 continues to be present locally so please bear this in mind.  If your child is unwell, please do not send them to school. Necessary precautions and procedures will be in place as usual. Please contact our school office to report reasons for pupil absences and to alert us to any positive cases which may affect others in our school community.

    School Meals can be paid for as usual on the School Money App for the Term ahead. Any queries please contact our School Office. 

    Google Classroom (GC)- All classes are continuing to operate a virtual GC and messages from teachers and some homeworks are accessed through this platform regularly. Please download the GC APP onto new devices and visit your child’s GC regularly for updates. 

    After School Clubs - We will hopefully be able to recommence 1,2,3 Club and offer other After School Provision in the near future. 

    Kind regards, 
    Mr Kevin Burns
    Principal
