Yesterday, Tuesday 12th May, an impressive 245 children, staff, and parents took part in a special Walking Bus event to mark 'Walk, cycle or scoot to school.' Participants gathered at the school at 8:25am before setting off on a 10-minute route, collecting pupils at three designated points along the way.
The event ended on a high note as everyone returned to school to be greeted by a special visitor—Winnie the Pooh—much to the delight of all involved. Everyone who took part was presented with a special badge marking the walk to school week.
Tomorrow, we have our second walking bus of the week - we hope to see you there!

At school, we want the pupils to be as 'ready to learn' as they can be! Lots of healthy habits can help with this - active playing outdoors, reading stories as a family, avoiding too much device use, and of course, getting good sleep!
The Department of Education NI has released the following image which gives some advice on how many hours of sleep are required for each age group, and things to avoid before bed. Getting plenty of good quality sleep can really help your child with their learning!

Good school attendance is imperative if pupils are to make the progress which they have the potential for. At Hart Memorial, attendance is monitored by our Vice-Principal, Mrs White, in collaboration with the Education Welfare Service.
If your child is off, you MUST provide us with a reason why - as a school, we have a duty to know reasons for absence and monitor these.
Your pupil must only be off for a valid reason - sickness, appointment, something agreed with Principal/ Vice-Principal etc.
When monitoring attendance, the following flowcharts come into play. Please read them carefully to understand your role alongside the role of school staff.
Thank you.
