Dear Parent/Carer,
We have received correspondence from the Minister of Education today at 4.55pm to inform us that Primary Schools will now re-open for all children on Monday 11th January.
Nursery schools will open on their planned start date which in our case will be on Tuesday 5th January.
Key Worker/Vulnerable children will be offered supervised learning in school, if no other child care can be provided at home, on the 6th, 7th and 8th January. All other children will receive remote learning at home on the above dates. Further details on the above will be sent to Parents/Carers on the 4th January.
So at this late hour on 31st December we would wish everyone a Happy New Year.
Yours sincerely

21 December 2020
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you will be aware the Minister of Education announced on Friday 18 December that schools will open as planned in January 2021. Consequently, as things stand all children will return to King’s Park on Tuesday 5 January at the normal staggered arrival times beginning at 8.45am. Teachers’ have an in-service training day on the 4 January.
As we all know things are changing almost on a daily basis and should we receive new instruction from the Minister over the holidays, which change the above plan, we will contact you directly by email and through our “news” section on our website.
Finally, in these worrying and challenging times we hope all of our children and families will have an enjoyable Christmas and we look forward to everyone returning safely on the 5 January.

Letter re Christmas Holidays and Road Safety
Fri 11 Dec 2020KING'S PARK PRIMARY AND NURSERY SCHOOL
(EDUCATION AUTHORITY – SOUTHERN REGION)
11 December 2020
Christmas Holidays – letter to schools from the Minister of Education dated 8 December 2020
Dear parent/carer,
The following extract is taken from the above letter.
“I have previously stated that there are no plans to extend the Christmas holidays for schools, indicating that this would only cause further disruption to children’s education and lead to an increase in levels of stress and anxiety. It is, therefore, my expectation that, unless advised to do so by the Public Health Agency (PHA) due to health related reasons, or other non-health emergencies …………………… , all schools should remain open to all year groups for face-to-face teaching for the remainder of this term until their planned Christmas holiday.”
It is our intention to comply with the Minister’s expectation. School will therefore remain open as planned until the staggered home time on Monday 21 December. Dinners will be served as normal on this date.
Staggered times: 12.00 Nursery, P1, P2
12.15 P3, P4
12.30 P5, P6, P7
Yours sincerely,
Mr W Jennett Chairman of the Board of Governors
Mr T Shields Principal
Road Safety:
We would ask all parents/carers to remind your child/ren of the road safety rules and the importance of using the marked crossings, outside the school, properly at all times.
