Welcome back to the new school year
I hope everyone has had an enjoyable holiday, hopefully finding some
School starts on Tuesday 7th September at 8:50am for Forms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Nursery.
Reception parents have been contacted by Miss Oakley with their arrangements for the first day.
New pupils, please come to the office to be collected by your Form Teacher. |
|
General Information and Daily Requirements | | All arrangements for the new school year can be found on the General Information pages, under Our School on the School website.
This year we have created a page of information and daily requirements for each form, which we hope you will find useful. If there is any information you cannot find there but you think would be useful, then please let us know. |
|
Registration and attendance |  Morning registration arrangements have changed slightly this year to enable lessons to start promptly at 9:20am.
The bell will go at 8:50am as usual and pupils will line up and lead into the school. Assembly starts at 9am so the register closes at 8:55am.
Any pupil arriving after 8:55am is late and will need to enter the school via the main door so Miss Oakley can enter their name in the Late Register. This will enable teaching staff to know the whereabouts of all the pupils.
Each half term attendance details will be emailed home to enable the school to keep a closer record of the pupils absence. This will help us with our tracking of academic progress.
