Letter No.2 from Principal re School Closure
Carrick Primary School
Sunday 22nd March
Dear Parent/Carer,
All schools are now closed until further notice.
However, further to the announcement regarding key workers, we are investigating the possibility of providing childcare for the pupils of Carrick Primary School, who are vulnerable and for those whose parents have been identified as “Key Workers” and who have no other childcare option available to them.
www.education-ni.gov.uk/news includes information about key workers, as published by the UK Government, and it also includes details about vulnerable children.
We will be unable to make any provision for any other children and there will be no exceptions to this.
In order to enable us to plan a way forward, I would ask if you, as a key worker, have no alternative, other than to send your child(ren ) into Carrick PS, from 9am-2.45pm, from Tues 24th March 2020, that you would complete the attached “Application Form for Children of Key Workers” and return it by email to me (acassidy452@c2kni.net) as soon as possible, but no later than Monday 23rd March at 12 noon. Any potential childcare provision is subject to the current and future availability of staff.
Please be advised that there will be no school bus and any children who attend will be asked to bring a snack, a bottle of water and a packed lunch.
May God continue to bless us all in these very challenging times.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Anne Cassidy.

May we take this opportunity to welcome you to Carrick Primary School’s website.
Carrick Primary School first opened in 1939, and since then, our school has prospered and its good reputation has blossomed. Our pupils have enjoyed success not only in examinations but also in a wide range of other areas. This success is primarily due to the fact that our children are encouraged and challenged to explore their gifts, spiritual as well as intellectual, physical as well as social, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. We believe that children cannot learn if they are not happy. Therefore every effort is made to provide all the support that children need. We pride ourselves on the excellent staff-student relationships which exist in Carrick Primary School and on the effectiveness of our Pastoral Care provision. We value the services and support of our Parish Priest, Fr. D Mooney. This website has been designed to provide you with an insight into the life and work of our school. Our hope is that it reflects the genuine concern we feel, with regard to the needs of all our pupils and staff. If you require more information about any aspect of school life, please do not hesitate to contact me. Mrs Anne Cassidy PRINCIPAL |
