Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
Thank you everyone for your support this morning. It was a good start to the day, and just gave us all that extra time to get to school safely!
Dear Parents, We have come into school this morning to carry out building and premises inspections. Due to storm damage in the area, including downed trees and debris on several roads, we will be opening school to pupils from 9:00 a.m. with the intention that all children are in school by 10:00a.m. This is to allow additional time to ensure that we have sufficient staff in school and reduce the number of cars on the road at any one time, which should make your journey safer. Here is a link to the website with details of road closures: https://roadworks.gov.je/EWXPublic/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQKNjYyODU2ODM3OQABHpbPglxzYCes9Ag5_Ax4N4uPftte62f2CpqH0GVqqv5OVfqD0fp6hSbnt_cy_aem_HrEE8uR4IuyF1Eo9ddKU9w We are sorry for the inconvenience, but safety has to be our priority. Please could you share this on any class WhatsApp groups, for any parents who miss the email. Thank you. See you all later.
Please see the email that has been sent out to all parents regarding the storm.
Windy weather warning. We've had an update regarding Storm Goretti, that is due to arrive tomorrow evening. Please see below. Although the wind is due to be strong tomorrow evening, it should have decreased significantly by Friday morning. School is expecting to be open as usual on both days. This is the information we have received for Thursday: The wind is due to increase until the early evening It is expected that wind will be up to Gale Force 7/8 from 6pm - this is classed as a relatively normal Winter storm By 8pm it is expected that a Red weather warning will be in place due to winds increasing to Force 9/10 A Red weather warning indicates a risk to life so the advice will be to stay at home for the duration of the Red warning From 9pm until midnight the wind is expected to be at its worst with a potential for Force 11 or even Force 12 (although Force 12 is expected to be at sea) Wind direction will be south westerly or westerly Rainfall of 20mm during the day Big waves - 15 feet or above - Orange warning - stay away 1.2m higher tide than predicted.
Happy New Year! We are all looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. It's due to be quite cold so please drive carefully, it may be icy.
Our School Council reps would like to say a big thank you to our school community for donating so many food items for the Giving Tree Appeal this year. This will all be donated to Grace's Trust.
What a wonderful afternoon of festive cheer! Well done to all the children. So proud of our St Mary's community.
Oh my word, Year One parents - what a treat you have in store for you! What lovely baking and a lovely tartan ribbon!
Children have been very excited today, dressed in pyjamas, ready for our Christmas Movie Night. They are now enjoying their popcorn and a festive movie. Big thank you to our amazing parent helpers and all the staff for helping today.

Apparently the road outside school is flooded, so everyone please do your best this morning! Walkers, you may want your wellies on! UPDATED: It's the stretch of road in front of the field, and it has mostly subsided. As long as cars stick to the 20mph limit walkers on the path shouldn't get drenched!
Year One had an amazingly creative afternoon! Stained glass, nativity scenes, candy canes and bead snowmen... what a selection of festive delights!
