Parental Views – new section of the newsletter
Unfortunately we had a limited response last week to our questions about how safe parents and carers feel their child is in school.
Your views are really important to us. Please take the time to fill in the parental views section of the newsletter and return to school as this helps us to make informed decisions about school improvement and working in partnerships with families.
Finger Nails
We have had some incidents of pupils being scratched by others. We would appreciate your support with ensuring that your child’s finger nails are cut short regularly.
