Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Go raibh maith agat a thuismitheoirí

A huge thank you to the parents (Colin, Christine and Rosie) who took the time over the past few weeks to clean and tidy the Servery. Its hugely helpful and appreciated. Thanks to Claire and co. for getting stuck into Art Day prep with the clear out of the PTA shed. The ongoing work of many parents in the running of the library is also hugely appreciated.

  • Reconfiguration of AET spaces for September as we reach full capacity and fill our last classroom with a year group of children.

Hope fully there will be great turnout and much fun had by all. See below notice re Quiz from PTA.
