Well, we’ve arrived at the end of the first week already. Well done to each and every one of our pupils: you’ve made a fantastic start to the year and I really am proud of you! Enjoy a well-earned rest over the weekend.

In last year’s feedback questionnaire, parents and carers told us that they would value more regular information on their child’s progress. In response to this, pupils will receive three separate reports this year (two short and one more detailed report), the first of which will be sent out round about the September weekend. This will be a valuable opportunity for teachers to let parents know how their child is settling into their new class, help parents/carers stay better informed about their child’s progress and also act as an incentive for pupils to maintain high standards of work and behaviour.

Our class pages on the website will be up and running again in the next week or so and this is a great way of keeping up-to-date with your child’s learning. Class Dojo is also now used throughout the school and this is an absolutely fantastic way for school and home to maintain close links. A Dojo event is being planned for the very near future to allow parents to learn about everything Class Dojo has to offer. Watch this space!
