Primary 3 Pupils Full School Day

1st Apr 2026

 

P3 Parents/Guardians,

From Tuesday 14th of April the Primary 3 children in Mrs Haycock’s class will stay for the full school day. (8.45 am – 2.45 pm)

At first the children will find this a big change to their normal routine, and you may notice they may come home from school slightly more tired than normal but within a short time they will soon become accustomed to this later finish time. We will try to ease the pupils into this new longer day and in the beginning we may have an additional break for them in the afternoon. For these first few weeks you could send in a second ‘snack’ for this time.

Children who have been granted a seat by the Education Authority may go home by bus, all other children are to be collected from the school at 2.45 pm. Check the link below for information regarding home to school transport, including eligibility, how to apply, general information and EA Transport contact details.

If you have any questions regarding these changes please contact the school at  info@stpatricks.ardboe.ni.sch.uk  

Yours sincerely,

Mr J Canavan

Principal
