School Restart Update - August 2020

Further to an announcement from the Education Minister Peter Weir on Thursday 6th August all pupils from Primary 2 to Primary 7 will return to school on Monday 24th August on a full time basis. The arrangements for Primary 1 pupils starting school will remain unchanged so Primary 1 parents should adhere to the dates and times issued in June correspondence. Contrary to previous advice issued by DE/EA the School Meals Service will not be available until the week beginning 31st August so all pupils will have to bring a pack lunch for the first week. The DE have stated that further advice on school restart is to be issued to schools on 14th August.

Details on starting/finishing times and new drop off/collection arrangements wil be issued following the release of DE communication on restart. Information will be posted on this website during the week beginning 17th August.

In order to minimise the potential spread of Covid-19 through the school and local community a range of protective measures will remain in place for the foreseeable future. Some of the new protocols have been issued in school correspondence posted in the last week of June. Further measures and changes will be posted on this site during the  week beginning 17th August as well as being distributed in letter form following the pupils return to school. We would ask that all parents follow the guidance provided.

We hope that everyone has had an enjoyable Summer and we look forward to seeing everyone following the return to school.
