IMPORTANT: RE AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS FOR P5-P7 DUE TO START MONDAY 28^TH SEPTEMBER

Dear Parent/Carer,

I write to inform you that as you may have seen in the media, Teaching Unions have voted to take action short of strike due to the continued workload and the lack of agreement with DE regarding this.

The teaching staff have carefully considered the areas for action as directed by their unions and have decided to follow the directives as advised.

I wish to point out that the Governors and myself are fully supportive of the staff and are mindful of the vastly increased workload over the past years.

This means that the afterschool clubs due to start on Monday will be affected. 

Next week from Monday 28^th September to Friday 2nd October the only clubs that will be taking place are:

Monday – no clubs

Tuesday – Film Club for P6 pupils and Dance with Sports City

Wednesday – Girls’ Football

Thursday – Film Club for P7

Friday – Extreme Multi Sports

Please note:  These clubs above are only for children who had already signed up for them. We will confirm on Monday if pupils have been given their place in the clubs listed above.

We will try to organise a small number of additional afterschool clubs from the week beginning

5^th October onwards for 5 weeks and will send out information about this early next week.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for your support.

H Brown

Principal

We want to wish all our Primary 7 pupils every success as they move on to Post Primary.  Parents, Staff and P7 Pupils all enjoyed this afternoon’s Leavers’ Assembly in the Jethro Centre, when we celebrated the achievements of the children.  Below is a list of our 2025/26 prize winners.

They are a talented group of young people and we will miss them in King’s Park.  ALL THE BEST! 

REMINDER: School is closed this Friday 5th June due to a Staff Development Day
