A Message from the Principal: 
Dear Parent/Guardian 
 
Having lobbied the SELB for seven years for a much needed multi purpose hall, I am delighted to say that we have reached the planning stage and this plan has been submitted by the architects department of the SELB to planning service. Hopefully the work will be completed during this financial year. The new hall incorporates the classroom currently being used by the Playgroup and the SELB have stated that if that classroom is required a mobile will be provided.

May Birthdays 

Eco-Committee at Richmount 
 
The school eco-club have been very busy over the past weeks creating our new school Wildlife Garden in the grounds with help and advice from Richard Newport, a parent of Hannah in P2. This area will be used not only to attract wildlife to help our school achieve our ‘Green Flag’ status, but as a teaching tool in science to be used by all classes. 
 
Mr Clyde and the eco-team would like to thank Richard for all his help so far in the development of our school grounds. 

Comic Relief 2013 
 
On Friday 15th March Richmount Primary School celebrated Comic Relief Day by coming to school dressed in ‘red’. All pupils and staff made a fantastic effort to support this very worthy charity. The pupils in P6&7 (along with Mr Clyde and Mrs Mehaffey of course!) decorated and baked buns to sell at break time on the day. 
 
A massive £205.54 was raised by the school which will be used by Comic Relief to fund projects in developing countries around the world. 

Aspire, Aim and Achieve 

In school we have designed a new noticeboard which will enable us to highlight achievement by pupils each month. This board allows us to celebrate the achievement by a pupil from each year group plus the after school club. Certificates are awarded during a full school assembly on the last Friday of each month. 
 
We encourage all of our pupils to “Aspire, Aim and Achieve” in everything they do both in school and at home. We have taken this slogan as it is the motto for the 2012 London Olympic Games. 
Certificate winners for March & April 2013 are: 
Adam Capper 
Emily Milligan 
Charlie Stephenson 
Lee Jackson 
Erin Rowland 
 
Sarah Weir 
Damian Ciesielski
