To enable us to evaluate the joint activity and plan for the future events we asked our volunteers for feedback. We received a very positive response with comments including:
“I think it was an excellent experience for the children, not only did they meet future classmates, they met their potential teachers. It was a brilliant confidence builder for them. Definitely a SHANARRI experience.”
“I thought the day was a brilliant success! You could not tell the children apart if they weren’t in their school jumpers. the behaviour from both schools was excellent. They mixed very well with their peers from Claremont.”
“The kids really seem to have taken onboard ‘SHANARRI’ in both schools. I did not hear anything negative from the kids about the new school, they seem excited about it.”
We also asked for suggrstions for future joint working as we approach the merger, some of the suggestions included:
“Maybe a fun activity for them to do together?”
“Joint sporting events? Social events? Summer disco? More joint learning days.”
“Free time for the children to mix as they wish.”
We are taking on board all of the feedback and suggestions and we are looking forward to lots more joint working over the coming session.
