We will be hosting a virtual Parent Partners meeting on Tuesday 30th November at 6.30pm. We will send out joining instructions at the start of next week with the agenda for the evening.
We hope to see you all there. Have a lovely weekend.
Parent Partners Meeting, 7pm Tuesday 26th October
Our first parent partners meeting of the new school year will take place this coming Tuesday at 7pm. Unfortunately we cannot meet in person at this time and the meeting will take place on Skype.
The meeting will give us the opportunity to meet with the management team and discuss with them matters such as communication, home learning and plans for the leadership of the school in the coming year. We will also discuss any fundraising events that we can help with.
All parents and carers are welcome. If you would like to join the meeting, please email the school office for the skype code. The agenda for the meeting will be published on the school blog before the meeting. We look forward to seeing you there.
Parent/ Carer Phone Consultations
You will have already signed up for a phone call from your child’s class teacher for Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday for the nursery.
At your allocated slot the class teacher will phone you with a withheld number. We would request that you make yourself available to answer the call at your selected time to ensure your consultation goes ahead as planned.
Our staff are looking forward to catching up with you all about your child’s progress.

You will need to enter:

Please note: The login details you enter must match those we have on record for you. If you have not alerted the school to any relevant name changes, we will be expecting you to login with the details you gave us original. The booking system will allow you to make bookings from 17th September 2020 at 6.00pm and will close for bookings on 24th September at 1pm.

- The email address you can enter is only used to receive a confirmation of your appointment. It will not be used as a login ‘check’. Your e-mail address is never the reason you cannot login.
- If you have several children to make bookings for, and decide not to use the Booking Wizard, you can make appointments one-by-one using the ‘manual booking’ method. Use the ‘Change Child’ button on the blue bar (above the school’s name, at the top of the web page) to swap between your children.
If you are unable to book at home, please contact the school office for help.
