Budget 2012

Proposed Cuts to Education

Budget measures that will affect your child in the next 3 years or sooner.

We will lose 2 teachers. This will mean our much valued and highly successful Reception class will no longer be available. The Reception class has been part of our school for over 30 years. The loss of these two teachers will also mean that most of your children will be in double classes ie. 1st mixed in with 2nd , or 3rd mixed in with 4th. Most of your children will be in larger classes as a result of these budget measures.

There is also a strong possibility that we will lose our Language Support teacher.

We have a number of children who badly need a Special Needs Assistant and the Dept. are still deciding whether to sanction one. It is taking them a year to decide and these children have suffered as a result.

Please contact your local political representatives below and ask them to reverse these cuts now. Your children will suffer if they are not reversed.
