School News Update  

We’re excited to share the latest happenings at our school! This term has been full of energy, creativity, and community spirit. From engaging classroom projects to exciting extracurricular activities, our students continue to shine both in and out of the classroom.

What a whirlwind of a term! Our shiny new modular classroom has landed, and a brand-new playground—thanks to a very kind donation—is already echoing with laughter and speedy feet. We love it so much we are constructing another playground on the field. So many places to play and fun!!!

Staff have been busy too, taking part in training sessions on safeguarding, Bí Cineálta (“Be Kind”), and learning top tips from our Horizons Therapy Team on communication and regulation. We’re all becoming experts in calm!

Meanwhile, Rosie and Bonnie, our wonderful school dogs, have been clocking up the steps like pros—walking with pupils, listening to stories, and generally stealing the show.

We’re also looking ahead to one of the highlights of our school year—our annual Christmas concert, which this year will be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Rehearsals for this exciting production begin this week, and we know our students will be amazing.

In the coming weeks, staff will be taking part in further safeguarding and RELATE training sessions to continue building their skills and knowledge. IEP meetings are also scheduled soon to support our pupils’ individual learning journeys.

A huge thank-you to our dedicated staff, supportive families, and, of course, our brilliant pupils who make our school such a vibrant and joyful place to learn and grow.

Regards,

Sue Lenihan
