Admissions
Usually we enjoy welcoming you to our wonderful school during the month of December. Our Open night is when you and your children get to experience a little of what makes St Patrick’s such a special place. 2021 has been another year of adjusting to the many Covid restrictions and we are unable to host our normal Open Night, when the children get a wee taste of P1 and you also get to see what we are so proud of.
We do, however want you to be able to come inside and see for yourself how special our classrooms really are. From 6pm until 7:30pm on Thursday 9th December we invite you to take a quick tour of our Foundation stage classrooms. Family groups must be limited to parents and your prospective P1 children only and adults will be required to wear face masks. If displaying any symptoms of Covid, please do not attend and we’ll be happy to show you around at a later date. Our School info link
