We have now entered the third term of school, which is always a very busy time of year, as the teachers bring together all of the teaching and learning which has occurred. We hope that this term the children will continue to work hard and enjoy life in AughamullanPrimary School.
Over the next few weeks the children will be sitting the standardised tests in class, these results are used to gauge progression for next year. We would encourage full attendance where possible during this time.
