Feeny Summer Scheme – the closing date for payment of the remaining balance for children to attend the Summer Scheme was on 24th June.

We would therefore advise parents who have not yet paid the full amount not to send their children to the scheme until all outstanding monies have been paid.

– There will be no exceptions to this rule.
