Welcome back!
We welcomed back the pupils from Junior Infants to 4th class on Monday 1st March. All had huge smiles on their faces! 2nd, 3rd and 4th classes took advantage of the fine weather and went for a walk around the Village. They visited the woods, Lime Kiln and took some time at the Gateway of Inspiration to check out all the beautiful artwork created by the children of the Parish and surrounding areas during lockdown!
Supporting the Safe Provision of School Inspection Report
Our school recently had a Supporting the Safe Provision of Schooling inspection. This involved an Inspector from the Department of Education visiting our school to carry out safety checks and ensure that our school meets all Covid-19 safety standards.
On the day, the Inspector met with staff members and visited all classrooms where she spoke to the pupils and asked them questions on our Covid-19 related procedures.
We were delighted with such a positive report. This would not have been possible without the continued support from our school community to keep our school as safe as we possibly can.
