Parents are encouraged to take an interest in their children’s education and to make every effort to develop a healthy relationship between the school and the home. The school hopes to ensure the co-operation and support of the parents with the extra activities that will be organised during the school year. The school offers a variety of activities which are open to all pupils who are in the Headteacher’s opinion, ready and mature enough to participate in them.

The school cannot accept responsibility for supervising children at the end of meetings of the above clubs/societies or activities, and parents/guardians are asked to ensure that arrangements are made for children to be taken home. At the beginning of every term a booklet will be distributed to every home consisting of – time-table, flowchart of the work to be completed, school holidays and other important dates and events. School bulletins are sent out drawing attention to certain activities and school news.

It is extremely important for parents to take a keen interest in their child’s work so that a good relationship is developed between the school and the home. You will be invited to come to school on several occasions and there are social events we would like you to enjoy in order to understand the school and know the teachers. The work of the Parents and Teachers’ Association is very important especially in organising activities and social evenings as well as raising money for the school funds in order to buy resources for the pupils.

The requirements of the National Curriculum will be interpreted in the light of the Education Authority’s present policies and philosophy. The aim of an education system is to create situations and provide resources that will enable each child to develop a full personality, to develop and exercise all his/her abilities, to provide for the pupil in accordance with his/her age, ability and aptitude, so that he/she is able to become a responsible member of a bilingual society, able to contribute to that society and benefit from it.
