Home-School Agreements.

 

All parents and Carers will have received a copy of the home / school agreement last term. This is an important document as it secures the partnership between home and school and the work we do together to ensure the best for your child.

Please make sure you have signed the agreement and returned it to school.

New parents and carers will receive copies shortly. Thank you.

 

 

Person Centred Planning Reviews

 

Is your child in the POST 16 class?

A reminder - Your child is due for their PCP / Annual Review. Please refer to the home/school book to check the date of your child’s review. It is extremely important that as the parent / carer you attend the review.  

At the post 16 review the planning will focus on provision and opportunities for your child beyond the age of 19 when they leave school.

 

ART CLUB REQUESTS

The new lunchtime Art Club desperately needs your OLD SHIRTS and APRONS. Please send in whatever old tops you have in whatever sizes as we have students from ages 5 – 19 in the club !!!  Many thanks.

PHSCE - Parent and Carer contributions                                £££££££

Most of you will be aware that much of our curriculum at school is focused on building up your child’s independence and social skills. We endeavour to give every child opportunities to develop and practice these skills daily, appropriate to their needs.

Where possible, every child is encouraged to have a snack and drink each day during their morning break time, such as toast and juice.

This is regarded as teaching time so may involve going shopping for items, preparing them in class, laying the table and learning about how to enjoy a social experience with their peers.

 

We are asking that all parents and carers send in contributions each half term towards the purchasing of items. Your child’s class teacher will let you know more details. This will ensure that classes have enough money for your child to be able to have a healthy selection of snacks each day.

 

PARENT GOVERNORS

We are looking for parents or carers who are interested in becoming a school governor. It is important for our school that there are representatives from the children’s parents / carers on the Governing Body.  We need you!

There is help and finances available for childcare if you may require so.

Please contact the school if you are interested or just want to know more about it. Thanks
