Welcome to Our School Website
Following the publication of the Interim Recommendations for the Reopening of Schools yesterday, we wanted to communicate some of our initial thoughts and provisional plans.
If the recommendations stay the same for August/September, we are very hopeful of a full return for all our pupils within the first few weeks of the school year. As you can appreciate, during the first week, the children will need to come in at an agreed time to ensure we will not have overcrowding. We may need to continue this practice for a short period at the start of the year to ensure our procedures and protocols are properly in place before having all pupils in every day for a full day's work. A staggered start and finish time is envisaged, as well as possible drop offs to school gates only, in order to manage social distancing measures and the success of the pod system recommended by NEPHET. Everyone's cooperation is essential to ensure the safety of all pupils and staff. We will be requesting that you bear with us while the children are becoming accustomed to the systems we will have in place.
As the document states, it is important for all of us to accept that no interpersonal activity like schooling is without risk of transmission of infection, but with the guidelines in place and the cooperation of the whole school community in following our Covid 19 response plan, we will hopefully be able to fully reopen. We are blessed with large classrooms and wide corridors as well as numerous entrance/exit points. We will contact you in late August with our full plan and how the first week will operate.
We have attached photos of a senior and junior classroom to show how the tables will be set out. In the senior rooms tables will be 1 metre apart and the children will not be sitting directly beside each other. Depending on individual class numbers, some rooms will not need as many desks.
Junior classrooms will be set out in groups as normal but with the children not sitting directly beside each other, but staggered around the tables.

ASTRO PLAY AREA
Some the pupils of Scoil Na Naomh Uilig getting to experience the Astro Play Area for the first time. It’s a fantastic facility to have on our school grounds and is the result of a lot of hard work by the staff and parents of the school. We look forward to making the best use possible of the space.
