Please find attached the the feedback from the parental consultations earlier in the session.

We had a fantastic response and we appreciate the time parents and carers took to complete the questionnaires.

Parental Questionnaire 11.10.18 Response

Dear Parents/ Carers.

Mrs Mooney was delighted today when she visited primary 3/4 and saw how the boys and girls were using their mnemonic spelling strategy to help spell tricky words.  Well done everyone.  Keep up the hard work!

Dear parents/carers.

We would like to thank you for your overwhelming support of our recent Book Fair.  Total sales were an awesome £1035.77.  This earned us a massive £621 towards  Scholastic books for our school.  This will go a long way in stocking our new library.  A huge thank you for your continued support.
