Good afternoon parents,

Welcome to another WedNEWSday sway.

Included in this sway is some very important information about how we are going to trial an online booking platform called EQUIPPLE for our P1-P7 Parent Consultations in February-so please watch the EQUIPPLE video clip below and read the attached information about what you need to do.

Also included is important information about P1 Applications - make sure you don't leave this to the last minute!

Lots going on in school this over the next few weeks!

P1 Placement email error

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We wish to bring to your attention an issue regarding the release of Pre-School and P1 placement outcomes. The Education Authority (E.A.) has inadvertently released a number of placement decisions ahead of the scheduled notification date of Wednesday, 9th April.

Schools were not given prior notice of this situation and we appreciate that this may cause confusion and concern for some families if your child has not been awarded a place, or indeed if an email has not been received.

We expect EA Admissions to provide communication and clarification this morning which will be relayed to parents once received. If you have any questions or concerns please refer these to the EA primary admissions team via primaryadmissions@eani.org.uk . Due to the magnitude of this issue however a timely response should not be expected.

We appreciate your understanding and patience.
