The admissions criteria for each pre-school/primary school will be available to view or download at this time.Application forms will also be available for download and will need to be returned to the first preference pre-school/primary school by 12 noon on 10 January 2018.
Christmas Concerts
This year our Christmas Nativity and Carol Service will be held in the school hall. In order to facilitate this, we will be issuing tickets for each performance. Further details will follow.
Nut Allergy
We have a number of pupils in school who suffer from an allergy to nuts. This is a serious condition and can, in fact, be life-threatening. As such, the school is a nut free zone and we therefore ask that no nuts or nut products be sent into school with your child. Even giving your child nut products before coming into school could present a danger to pupils who suffer from an allergy through physical contact or even on the breath of others. We thank you greatly for your support in helping us keep our pupils safe and well. Should your child have a Epipen for an allergy, please keep note of the expiry date so that a replacement may be obtained from your G.P. and sent into school.
Year 1 Admission – September 2018
We are now taking a list of names for our Year 1 class for September 2018. If you have a child or know of a child starting school next year, please contact the school office so that we can add your child to our intake list.
Personal Belongings
Please be advised that if children bring any of their personal belongings to school, they are responsible for their safe-keeping.
