Messages for this Week

21st Jun 2026

As we enter the final stretch of the term, pupils may wear their PE uniform to school for the remainder of June with the exception of P7 pupils on Tuesday.

A reminder that all after-school activities have now ended. Breakfast Club will, however, continue as normal.

P7 pupils have their cinema trip to Banbridge Omniplex tomorrow, Monday 22nd, and may wear their PE uniform. Treats will be provided, and we expect to return in time for lunch.

All P7 pupils are asked to wear their full school uniform on Tuesday 23rd for the Leavers’ Service. Two to three representatives per family are welcome to attend. The service will begin at 2.15pm and should finish at approximately 3.00pm. As previously stated, this will be P7’s last day; however, they are welcome to return to join us for our rescheduled Fun Day on Wednesday 24th.

We will be holding our final Walk and Talk of the year on Friday 26th to celebrate the importance of health and wellbeing. This walk aims to bring together pupils, families, and the wider community to walk and talk in support of mental health. The walk will begin at Gilford Leisure Centre at 11:00am and will follow the scenic river route.

Anyone wishing to join us is welcome to meet at the Leisure Centre and walk along with the group.

We have been informed of a change to the dinner menu, which will now be as follows:

Thursday 25th - Fish fingers or tuna roll

Friday 26th - Cocktail sausages or pulled pork baguette

Monday 29th - Chicken goujons or cheese wrap

Please note these options may be subject to slight changes as stock items are used up.

Finally, we would like to wish all our dads, grandads and other father figures a very happy Father’s Day. We hope you enjoy your special day.
