Dear Parents/Guardians,
On Tuesday, 23rd February 2021, the Government published their plan for the next phases of return to in-school provision for students in Junior Infants to Second Class at primary level.
- On Monday, 1st March, the first four classes at primary level – junior and senior infants, first and second class
- Monday, 15th March, is the target date for the return to in-school provision of the rest of primary school children - third to sixth class students
- Remote teaching and learning provision for students in each category will cease once in-person teaching and learning provision commences for each group of students
A summary of the Government’s plan for the next phase of return to in-school provision for students is listed below:

- Pupils must self-isolate or restrict their movements at home if they display any symptoms of COVID-19
- Pupils should not return to school in the event of the following:
