Coming Soon & Approved: New SEN Facility and Additional Specialist Provision Classes We are delighted to share some very exciting news for our school community. Building work on a new stateoftheart Learning Support Centre for LSC 1 & 2 will commence in September 2026 and is scheduled for completion in August 2027. This new facility will be an excellent addition to our existing Learning Support Centres and will significantly enhance our overall educational provision. It will be located behind our new LSC3 & LSC4 building. The new modular building will primarily support children in Learning Support Classes 1 & 2 (ages 4–7). It will also create additional classroom and withdrawal spaces within our school building, benefiting all of our pupils. In addition, a new Specialist Provision Setting (SPS) for pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) will open in September 2026, catering for pupils in P3 and P4. A further SPS class will open in September 2027 catering for pupils in P5-7, expanding our specialist provision even further. Our children have only one primary school experience, and they deserve the very best resources and facilities to support their learning journey. This bespoke accommodation & additional Specialist Provision Setting Classes are another important step forward in achieving that aim. Building & Premises Development Include: A new modular building with: Two large classrooms Hygiene room Offices Withdrawal rooms Sensory rooms A new playground area featuring: Gaming zone Outdoor shelter

Confirmation 2026 We were delighted to celebrate a very special milestone for our Primary 7 pupils on Tuesday (June 2nd) as they received the Sacrament of Confirmation. This was a meaningful and joyful occasion, marking an important step in their faith journey. The children conducted themselves with great reverence and maturity throughout their preparations for this special day. Families, staff, and parish members were proud to witness their commitment and the sense of community that filled the church. We extend our warmest congratulations to all of our Primary 7 pupils on receiving their Confirmation. We also thank the families, staff, and parish community, particularly Fr O'Neill who supported them along the way. This memorable occasion will remain a significant moment in their lives, and we are very proud of them all.
