Please enjoy our Virtual Open Afternoon 2021. This replaces our annual Open Afternoon which was scheduled to take place today. We hope to meet P7 pupils and parents later this session and very much aim to be meeting in person in June 2022.
Our 3 day visit is planned for 14th-16th June and our P7 Parents Information Evening planned for 15th June 2022. We are also planning some transition events from March onwards to support P7/S1 transition.
We look forward to meeting you then.
