Dear Parent/Carer,
The First Minister for Education has announced today that children in the Foundation Phase are due to return to school from Monday 22nd February. This is the period after half term. All head teachers are meeting with the Director of Education and Family Support on Monday 8th February to discuss the arrangements. Please take time to read the media statements to familiarise yourself with the content and expectations. You will be informed next week of the return to school plan as soon as we are able to do so.
There is no return to school date for the older children in Key Stage 2 (Juniors) at present. All Key Stage 2 children will continue to learn from home via the various on-line platforms until further notice.
I thank you for your patience and understanding. Please remember to contact the school if you have any queries or concerns.
Yours sincerely

I hope you and your family are safe and well. It is a very difficult time for all and your support with home learning is greatly appreciated. We all want the children back in school, where they belong as soon as possible. In the meantime, we must work together to help the children as best we can.
There a number of documents attached for your attention. The documents are also on the school website. Please visit the COVID19 updates and the Home Learning tab. In the Home Learning tab you will find useful video guides of how to access Active Learn for reading, Big Maths On-line, Hwb and Google Classroom. For Foundation Phase, you will also find the Home Learning grids in your class tab.
All staff have produced a timetable for their class. This will provide some routine for the children. Key Stage 2 staff will be providing 2 lessons a day in Google Classroom. Please support your child with the work where you are able to do so.
Also, attached for your information is a home/school contract. It aims to clearly define the expectations of the school, pupils and parents.
Kind regards / Cofion
