Dear Parents and Carers

Re: Nursery and Year 1 Applications

Online applications for pupils joining Nursery and Year 1 in September 2021 opens on the Education Authority website on Thursday 7^th January and closes on Friday 29^th January 2021. Link: https://www.eani.org.uk/parents/admissions

The Education Authority have produced a short video on how to apply. We have shared this on the school website and Facebook page. In addition, Mrs Catriona Quigley, Nursery Teacher (email: cquigley453@c2kni.net) and Miss Orla McNamara, Primary 1 Teacher (email: omcnamara803@c2kni.net) are available to help you with the application if you email them and give your phone number they will contact you and talk you through the process.

I have attached the Admissions Criteria for both Nursery and Primary 1 to support you when completing the application.

As we cannot invite you into school at this time, we are re-posting our Virtual Tour to share some of our teaching and learning with you.

We provide a high quality education for all the children in our care. The Curricular and Pastoral Care approaches are documented in our policies which are available on the website.

Please share this information and your experience of our school with your family and friends, especially if they have a child for Nursery or Year 1 in Sept. We would be delighted to have new families join us in our happy, caring environment.

If you wish to talk to me about anything relating to your child or our school, please call me on 028 71351929 between 9.00 am and 3.00 pm Monday to Friday. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
