Girls and boys we miss you and are super proud of the work you are doing at home! Stay Safe!

Dear Principal,

AQE Registration Update

This is a very uncertain time for everyone involved in education, not least for parents and pupils. AQE is endeavouring to provide clarity to P6 pupils and parents about the arrangements for the tests which are scheduled to take place during the next academic year. Our Chief Executive intends to write to you in full over the next week or so regarding the assessment themselves. Registration is due to open on Wednesday 29th April 2020 for applications from parents of P6 children who will sit the AQE assessments in the Autumn. AQE Limited is having ongoing discussions with key stakeholders to ensure that the best possible provision is made for applicants and, for this reason, the date of registration may be delayed. Due to the circumstances caused by the continuing disruption of lockdown, AQE is moving completely to an online application process this year. It is hoped that the process will simplify the application procedure and will enable parents to upload electronic photographs, scanned birth certificates and pay online. Detailed information can be found on the Registration Section of our website. The online form will go live on the date registration opens. I have attached the Guidance Notes which will be uploaded to the website in due course, in the hope that this might be of some help for parents completing the form online. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if there’s anything further you require regarding the registration process. Kind regards, Ciara

Well done on all the brilliant work that has been going on during your Home Learning. You are all brilliant! Have a well deserved rest now until the 20th April! Happy Easter.

Huge Congratulations to Mr Armstrong and all of our Key Stage 2 staff and children, on helping our school to achieve the prestigious Master School and Master Project Manager Award for Accelerated Reading. Only three other schools in Northern Ireland have achieved this award out of 7000 schools doing Accelerated Reading. To achieve this Honour Roll success has to be shown over 25 weeks. Our school average reading time is 25 minutes daily and more than 80% of children are achieving 85% or higher average percent correct in their quizzes. Master Schools are presented with a plaque and a hamper of books. Mr Armstrong, our Literacy Coordinator will also be awarded with a trophy. Thanks to Mr Armstrong for all his hard work, thanks to all the staff and children for promoting the Accelerated Reading programme and thanks to Angie Mervyn and the West Belfast Partnership Board who funded this great programme for us.
