Parental Views – new section of the newsletter
As we seek to further improve our service we will be gathering parent and carer views each week in our newsletter. We would like your opinions about relevant topics that affect you and your child. There will be a section for you to put your responses, tear off and return to school. You could otherwise email lucia@jacktaylor.camden.sch.uk or telephone with your responses.
Please take a moment to answer the questions at the end of the newsletter as your views are important to us and influence decisions we make in school.
