Solihull Parent Group – Come along and find out what’s involved
Numeracy Open Morning – Tuesday 20th September
Dear Parent/Carer,
Stane Primary School Nursery Open Day September 2016
On behalf of the teachers and management team, I am delighted to invite you to attend our Primary 1 to 7 Open Morning on Tuesday 20th September 2016.
The morning will begin at 9am in the Main Hall, where I will highlight our key improvement priorities for the school session and share some updates about the year ahead.
At approx. 9.30am, you will have a chance to visit your child’s classroom to see them working on Numeracy and Maths. At 10am, all parents can either visit their second child’s classroom, remain in the first class or join me in the hall for refreshments. Parents of pupils in P2-7 will depart at 10.30am
Parents of Primary 1 pupils are invited to remain to see an Active Literacy lesson with their child from 10.45am- approx. 11.30am (This replaces the Active Literacy session postponed from the information session last term).
As we have limited space, a maximum of two adults per family may attend, and these must be parent/carers or grandparents. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children under school age for this event and ask you to make alternate arrangements.
Class Teachers will not be able to discuss individual children during this time, however, Mrs. Scott and I will be available throughout the session to answer any questions.
I look forward to seeing you at this event.
Yours sincerely
Mr. Scott Clark
Head Teacher

Thank you to everyone who attended the recent Parent/Teacher Consultations. At the meetings on 19th May 2016, parents/carers were invited to complete the annual Parent Questionnaire which helps us determine priorities for development.
A copy of the results can be downloaded here.
We are delighted to receive such positive feedback and constructive comments for improvement.
As a result of this information, we aim to:
- Continue to ensure Parents/Carers are kept fully informed of school news and events.
- Review our Homework policy to ensure this meets the needs of the children.
- Revisit our Anti-Bullying policy and establish a pupil-led ‘Anti-bullying’ Committee.

Our School Uniform Dress Code has been revised and updated after an extensive consultation over the past year. All children, staff and parents were invited to give their feedback and opinion.
The main change is the removal of black school jumpers and red polo shirts from the options.
