Many thanks for your co-operation in passing on your details to the school and we hope that you will find this new system most beneficial, it will certainly reduce the crumpled letters in the bottom of school bags!

There is also a “parents app” available for download to your smartphone/tablet which we will also being using for correspondence. This will have no cost to yourself or the school.
The app is called ‘xpressions’ and the log in will require the same e-mail address that you have provided to the school. We would advise you to download this as soon as possible.

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.
