From time to time, I will also add documents that are of relevance to members of the school community only.

The Department of Education and Skills has published a leaflet for parents explaining the New Primary Language Curriculum for English and Irish, for Junior Infants to Second Class. It explains why there is a new language curriculum and describes the importance of parents’ role in supporting and encouraging their children’s language development.

Help My Kid Learn: I would like to highlight another excellent web site, Help My Kid Learn, which brings together relevant information for parents and the wider community to support children’s literacy and numeracy development.

I invite you to read details of our School Plan.
