Dear Parents/ Guardians,
I hope you and your family are keeping well as we reach the end of week 3 of remote learning. All education stakeholders are currently engaging with the Department of Education in working towards a safe and practical return to school to facilitate face to face teaching and learning for pupils. At present, we do not know when we will reopen for face to face teaching, however, we will keep you informed of any developments.
If there are school books for you to collect, they are available at reception. They can be collected when the school office is open. The office is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am to 11.30am. If you have queries for Maureen our secretary, please phone during those times. Alternatively, please email info@stthomasjns.com which is monitored daily.

Our Mid Term Break is from Thursday 18th to Friday 19th February inclusive as per our school calendar issued at the beginning of the year. Children are not expected to engage in remote learning on those two days.
If you have any queries or questions please do not hesitate to contact me or the class teacher.
Best wishes and keep safe,
