Welcome to the Autumn Term!
We do hope everyone was able to take advantage of the glorious summer weather and that your children are ready for school! We look forward to welcoming our returning and new pupils tomorrow and it is always exciting to settle in the new Junior One children and get to know them better.
As always, the Autumn Term is crammed with activities and although it is an academically focused term there are the Christmas Plays and the Carol Concert for everyone to look forward to.
