Fri 22 Sep 2023Another busy week at school has come to an end and the weather has taken a turn for the worse. Well done on braving the elements this week it definitely has been a challenge.
We are going to be changing the way that need that little extra help. If your child needs some extra help, teachers and the SENCo will work with you to set small targets in an IEP (individual education plan) and then meet with you when your child has achieved the target or there needs to be a review. This way we are working together to deliver the very best for your child.

Fri 08 Sep 2023Welcome back.
I hope that you have had a wonderful summer and are slowly getting back into the routine of school. It is always hard the first week back to make sure that we are up-to-date, reading the app messages, and PE days and having everything prepared.
We have set next Wednesday as meet the teacher afternoon, 4 pm to 5 pm. This will help you get to know school expectations around reading and homework and what lies ahead for your child for the year.
If you are not getting all our messages, you need to make sure that you have the ScholarPack App, as we do not send text messages out and make sure that the school has an email address as lots of our communication comes via this form of media.
