As you are all aware, we began our RespectMe journey during Anti-Bullying Week. We would appreciate your time in filling out our questionnaire as this will give us an indication of opinions and perceptions of what bullying is and the implications it may have. This will give us a starting point in our journey and will allow us to measure change.

Bring a Parent to School Day Success!
Over the past several weeks we have been delighted to welcome our families back into school to visit our classrooms and have our pupils discuss their learning in Literacy and Numeracy with you.
We have been overwhelmed at how many of our families have been able to join us and we hope that you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!
Please keep an eye out for Parent Literacy and Numeracy packs which will be sent home with ‘oldest and only’ children, ensuring you have 1 per family. You will find useful information about our delivery of these subjects, some of the terminology explained and some examples of activities you can try at home with your child.
We are looking forward to many more opportunities to welcome you into school over this session. Don’t forget to check out our Parental Involvement calendar to note down the many opportunities we have to welcome you in to school this year.
