It is hard to believe that the new academic year is just around the corner! I hope that everyone has had a super, restful break, and is ready to begin a new school year.
In preparation for coming back, please be reminded of some arrangements for the new school year.
Back to School
Pupils from P2-7 return to school on Wednesday 28th August; they will finish on this day at 12noon. This will be the case for Thursday 29th August and Friday 30th August. Pupils should have a healthy snack with them on these days. There will be no school dinners on these days.
Full school days, with school dinners, will begin on Monday 2nd September. Arrangements for Nursery and Primary 1 children are different and have been shared separately – please contact the class teacher if you are unsure of anything.
Meet the Teacher
This year, we are changing the format of our ‘meet the teacher event.’ On Thursday 29th August, parents are invited into school from 12:30pm to 2:30pm to go and meet their child/ren’s new teacher. Teachers will be in their rooms, with a handout regarding key information about their class, and parents are welcome to visit and collect this/meet with the teacher. This will be an informal, drop-in event and parents are welcome to arrive at any time.
Uniform
Please ensure that your child is in the correct school uniform for their first day.
Our school uniform can be purchased from local suppliers including, C&G Embroidery, Jameson’s and Davidson’s. Please ensure that all items of clothing have the pupil’s name.
The uniform is the same for both boys and girls:
Round-neck/V-neck school jumper with the logo
Black tracksuit bottoms (sweatshirt material with cuffed legs)
Please note, bottoms must be plain black and should not have any branding or lines, except the school logo, if desired.
Bottoms with the school logo can be purchased from C&G Embroidery.
Yellow polo t-shirt with logo
Plain Black trainers
We had a great morning celebrating various achievements in P1-4.
Well done to all of our winners.
Please find the uniform for September 2024.

Thank you.
The roads around school are very busy at home times and there are lost of things which can distract drivers. It is vitally important that pupils do not add to this.
Please look at the following poster and discuss it with your child.
Remember, stop, look and listen!
Our WAU topic this term is The Romans and we have been learning about the Roman army, Roman soldiers and the equipment and weapons they used. We found out that the Roman army had big catapults called Ballistas so today, in our technology lesson we made and tested our own small Ballistas. The children had great fun launching paper balls across the playground!
On Wednesday 5th June, all children in P4 to P7 classes who took part in Shared Education this year with Presentation PS had a wonderful time at Portadown Peoples Park. They spent the day taking part in a variety of different sports that was run by the staff from Healthy Kidz. Here are some photos to show what they did while at the park.
