We have quite a few items currently in the Lost Property Box, which are can be viewed in the ‘Parents’ section of the website - under ‘Lost Property.’.  

 

If your child owns any of these please ensure they are claimed as soon as possible. Anything unclaimed by the end of term will be given to charity.

The revised Policy on Exceptional Closures is now available to view on the website - in the 'Key Information' section, under 'Policies.'  A hard copy can also be obtained from the General Office, on request.

We'd like to say a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who contributed to our recent sponsored walk at the Silent Valley.  We were very fortunate that the weather was favourable enough to allow us to complete the walk, and I know the children had a great morning.  As a result of everyone's generosity we have managed to raise the fantastic total of £2009 for school funds. Well done to everyone involved!

The school recently underwent an inspection by the Education Training Inspectorate.  I am pleased to report that the findings were extremely positive.  The full inspection report can be accessed in the 'Key Information' area of the school website. It can also be accessed at www.etini.gov.uk

The Sports Day House Captains & Vice Captains have been elected by the pupils. The names for each house are:

 

SILENT VALLEY
Captain: Daniel Minnis
Vice Captain: Amy Chambers

 

Our annual Sports Day will be held at the Carginagh Road playing fields on Tuesday 14th June at 10:45am.  As you know, we have a picnic after the sports events are finished and we would encourage you to stay and have your picnic lunch with us. 

There will be no buses running to take the children home that afternoon, therefore, we would request that all children go home directly from the playing fields once our Sports Day has finished, at approximately 1:30pm. If there is inclement weather on 14th June you will be notified by text, and we will aim to re-schedule for the next suitable day.

As part of the Eco Schools programme we are collecting used plastic bottle tops / milk carton tops. These can be brought into school and deposited in the container adjacent to the P6 classroom. We’d ask that you kindly rinse the bottle tops before sending them into school.

We've been having great fun with our 'Crazy Clothes Day' today!  All money raised will go to 'Many Hopes' - a charity set up by Thomas Keown, one of our past pupils.  Visit the 'Gallery' section to see some great photos of the kids in their 'crazy clothes!'

We will be holding a registration day/evening for our 2016 Summer Scheme on Tuesday 19th April.  The Scheme will run from 25th - 29th July this year.

 

If you’d like to send your child we’d kindly ask you to register in school on that date.  There will be two different registration times:

 

* From 1:45pm - 3:00pm

* From 6:45pm - 7:45pm

 

Further information (plus the registration form) is available in the Parents section of the website, under 'Letters.'
