Meet the Teacher – Tuesday 3rd September 3.10pm-4.10pm
This is an informal drop in session for you to meet your child’s teacher and find out what they will be doing in class.
Our school improvement priorities for 2024-2025 are to:
  • Update and further develop our planning and progression pathways for numeracy and maths. Embed the last session’s progress on our literacy progression pathways, particularly writing, into our planning and assessment formats.
  • Further develop and embed digital literacy learning and digital skills across our school.
  • Continue to improve communication with parents and increase opportunities for positive parental involvement and engagement in the life and work of the school.
