School Closure Dear Parents, We hope this message finds you and your family well and surviving home schooling! All the staff are missing daily life with your children and are looking forward to welcoming them back as soon as it is safe to do so. We have had to make the difficult decision to close the school for the foreseeable future, as we do not have the correct staff numbers to care for our pupils safely. The number of children needing reduced provision has been very low, and we hope to participate in a locality hub with the few remaining staff we have, in an effort to help these families. DENI have established a working group to take forward the practical planning of this. Once we receive information on this, we will contact you. In the meantime, should you require any advice or have questions or concerns please contact on our school email address which is checked daily: info@hollybankps.newtownabbey.ni.sch.uk Alternatively, you can contact our parent liaison worker Mrs Norma Johnston on 07972 253335, who will contact me directly. Please be aware I am doing everything I can, both night and day, to ensure we can offer support and guidance to all our families. Information changes hourly and we appreciate your patience and understanding at this difficult time. I will keep you updated if our staffing situation changes as this is also being monitored daily. Kind Regards Miss L Brett Principal
