Dear Parents & Carers


This is going to sound like I’m obsessed with
the weather but it is a commonly held idiom that

in Ireland you can tell which season it is
dependent on whether you have ‘cold rain’ or
‘warm rain’! What is going on and could we
have a bit of balance please?


I should also thank all our lovely parents and
pay tribute to my staff for your understanding
and co-operation during the last red warning
heatwave. It was very challenging to do the
right thing at the right time, but together we
made it through. Let’s hope the next heatwave
is a little bit kinder to all of us.


Kind regards
Mr McCadden

Moving House

Mrs Owen has been carrying out some routine maintenance on our pupil
database and has noticed that some of our contact information is or looks out
of date. If you have moved house this year or are intending to do so over the
summer holidays, it is a safeguarding requirement that we know where
children are living and have at least two emergency contact phone numbers.
If you have updated your phone or email or even your child’s emergency
contact details, please let the office know.

 

An Inspector Calls

Did you witness our wonderful production in school over the last couple of nights? I had the
privilege of seeing both shows and they were absolutely brilliant.


Mr Byrne said about the children:
This year’s production has been a wonderful reminder that every child has something unique
to offer. Whether delivering a leading role, performing as part of the ensemble, helping
backstage or encouraging their classmates, every member of the cast has played an essential part in bringing this performance to life.


I am immensely proud of the enthusiasm, humour & determination our Year 6 children have
brought to their rehearsals. They have embraced every challenge with positivity and have
created a production that they should be incredibly proud of.


A huge thank you must also go to all our dedicated staff and volunteers, whose time, patience and encouragement have made this production possible, and to our families for the continued support with costumes and practising the lines with their children.
