Taxi Driver’s Tea Party
We will be contacting parents and carers shortly regarding the taxi driver’s tea party on Sunday 31st January.
Parent /
We hope, this term, to continue successful parent/carer partnerships with school. Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended the end of year Christmas show. The pupils were thrilled to perform to their families and friends and it was encouraging to see an increased support from you all.
We hope that we can continue to build this support as it is important that we work together to ensure the best outcomes for your child. It is particularly important that parents and carers are involved in their child’s annual reviews and the stages of transition, particularly as we prepare for the next step in your child’s education and beyond.
As always, we look forward to working in partnership with you in the future.
Parent / Carers Governors.
Now that we have started a new year there may be some of you who are interested in becoming a parent/carer Governor. It is so important that the Governing body has representation from the parents and carers and we would encourage you to consider this. If any parent or care is interested please contact the school. There is money available to assist with childcare.
As the cold weather sets in please can we remind you to send your child to school in warm clothing.
Please make sure your child has a coat that fits, and is warm. Hats, gloves and scarves should be sent in too and labelled with your child’s name.
Thank you.
School Uniform Clothing.
It has been lovely to see so many pupils and staff coming into school in the new
