Parent Night Success

Many thanks to everyone who attended parents’ night last night. It was good to see such a high attendance. If you were unable to make your appointment last night, and would still like a meeting, please contact the school in the usual way. We will try and accommodate you at mutually convenient  time.

A huge ‘Well Done’ to our amazing Glow Busters. They did a superb job of informing everyone about the benefits of Glow and Kirkshaws new-look website. Look out for our ‘Using Glow at Home’ letter which will be given out to each pupil, with their individual usernames and passwords, as soon as the school has a working photocopier again. We hope this will be soon after we return from the October break.

Please have a look around the website and comment on the blogs – the pupils (and the teachers) would be delighted to get feedback.
