IMPORTANT - September Re-Opening Information
To the Pupils, Parents, Carers and Staff of St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School,
I wanted to send an enormous thank you to everybody for your contribution to the life of our school during the recent difficult weeks of lock-down.
Parents have been working hard managing home-learning, children have been doing their best to keep on top of their work and even to explore new interests. The children we have had in school have been wonderful. They have enjoyed forming new friendships with children and adults. We only wish we could have had more of you here! A sincere thank you for everything you have all done.
The staff have been wonderful – not only those who have been in school, but those working from home. Everyone has done their best to help things run as smoothly as possible. It takes a small army to run a school, and everyone’s contribution matters. My particular thanks to the back office staff, who have kept things going despite working from home, and to Mrs Hill and Mrs Deasey, as they retire from their current roles.
We are still busy planning for the return to school in September. As I’m sure you will all appreciate, things will not be as they were before, and we will continue to communicate with you over the summer holiday, as more information becomes available. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
We have received many cards, presents and good wishes from our families as this extraordinary school year draws to a close. Your kind words and generous gifts are always overwhelming; many thanks.
Finally, I would like to thank the pupils and families of Year 6, who are leaving us to go on to secondary school. It was great to see you all at the socially distanced celebration on Thursday. You have been a credit to the school and to your families. We will miss you, but we are confident that you will get off to a flying start at Secondary school. The words of the Irish blessing seem very appropriate for you at this time.
I hope you all have a relaxing holiday and we are all looking forward to welcoming everyone back in September.
