Go Red for Ryan Day [2nd May 2025] Dear parents, We are supporting the 'Ryan McBride Foundation' fundraiser Go Red for Ryan Day on Friday 2nd May 2025. We would ask all children to wear red on the day and try to raise £5 sponsorship. All money raised goes back into the RMB Foundation s | Easter News P1-P7 classes finish for the Easter holidays on Thursday this week (17th April 2025) at 12 noon. Traffic in and around the school will be heavier than usual. If you wish to collect your child/children earlier, please let us know. There is no canteen service on Thursday so the children will need lunch when they get home. We return to school on Monday 28th April 2025 for our summer term.

Important Strike Action News-Monday 3rd & Tuesday 4th June 2024

Industrial Action Monday 3rd & Tuesday 4th June 2024

Dear Parent/Guardian,

I am writing to you about the forthcoming strike action by non-teaching unions (UNITE the Union, GMB and NIPSA) in relation to a trade dispute linked to the EA Pay and Grading Review.  You may have seen coverage of this in the news, and I wanted to inform you about the impact this is likely to have at our school.

When a strike takes place, those taking strike action, stop work and withdraw their labour. This upcoming action will affect our canteen/kitchen service, classroom assistant support and lollipop service.

In partnership with the Board of Governors, I have determined the following:

  • The school will be open from 9.00am until 12 noon on Monday 3rd June 2024. (Breakfast Club will operate as normal) Pupils will go home at 12 noon.
  • Please note on Monday 3rd June, there will be no lollipop service available in the morning or at 12 noon to walk the children up to the top of Chapel Road.
  • The school will open as normal on Tuesday 4th June 2024; however, all pupils will need to bring a packed lunch and a drink as there will be no canteen service. Classroom assistant and lollipop service will run as normal. Clubs will also run as normal.

Clearly, this is a difficult situation, which will cause disruption and we appreciate your understanding. Strike action is not something that any member of the school staff undertakes lightly.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kindest Regards

Mrs Bacheta
