Hello everyone
Religious and Cultural Events
One of our improvement priorities for this session is to celebrate and mark important religious and cultural events for everyone in our school and nursery community. If you would be interested in helping us with this, perhaps by sending in information, pictures and videos or coming in to school or nursery to talk to children, classes or year groups please contact Mr Bryce via the usual email, who would be delighted to discuss this further with you. With that in mind, Rosh Hashanah is in a few weeks, if you can help share your knowledge in any way at all, please do get in touch. Thank you.

Meet the Teacher P3-P7 Tuesday 13th September 6.30pm – 7.30pm
We hope you have been hearing lots about your child’s new classroom and teacher. We are delighted to welcome you back into our school for our first in person ‘Meet the Teacher’ since 2019. As this is an informal event, with no presentations, we would ask that you do not request an update on your individual child’s progress at this time. Our staff are very much looking forward to this opportunity for you to drop in to say hello and put a face to a name. Please feel free to bring your child(ren) with you so that they can show you around their classroom.
On the evening, please come to the main school entrance at any point between 6:30pm and 7:30pm where there will be staff to direct you to your child(ren)’s classroom if needed.
There will be a formal Parents’ Evening in November where you will receive detailed information about your child(ren) and you can of course continue to get in touch with us at any time if you have any concerns or particular questions.
We will also be holding a drop in opportunity for any parents who have not been able to join us for the virtual new Home Learning Policy question sessions. We will be in the Hub from 7pm until 7:30pm. Please join us there if you have any queries.
