Tonight, we held a Parent workshop to discuss creating a Curriculum Rationale for our school.  The Curriculum Rationale that will be developed, will be unique to our school and ensure that everyone within the school, parents, staff, pupils and community members  are clear about what we are aiming to achieve through the curriculum.

The parents who took part in tonight’s workshop were asked to think about the following questions:

• What is it we want for our children?
• How are we going to achieve it?

The staff and children took part in a similar exercise and the views of all who took part, will be included in creating the Curriculum Rationale for the school.

Many thanks to all of the parents who took part tonight.
