Parents Evenings

Reception’s parents’ evening is the week beginning Monday 11th November. Paper letters were sent home last week with the children. If you haven’t filled in the form please do so and return to your child’s teacher.

Y1-6 parent’s evenings will be during the week beginning Monday 2nd December. Please note that we have reverted back to our old system for arranging appointments. For the last couple of years, we have used an online booking system. This system came with an annual subscription of £1,000, which was used only twice a year. Due to tighter budgets this year, we have decided to move back to our old system (paper letters) and put the £1,000 towards subsidising for trips and visits.

 

Many thanks

Applying for Secondary School place for 2025

Deadline for applying for your child’s secondary school place is Thursday 31st October 2024.

Please note: Parents can submit up to four preference schools on their application and we encourage parents to apply for more than one school as, if we are unable to offer their preferred school they may be allocated a school that is some distance away if their catchment school is already full.  Each year we do see a lot of applications that have only one preference which can lead to a lot of disappointment when allocated a school some distance from their home address.

Curriculum governors involvement in school

Governors met yesterday as part of our Curriculum Committee. They focussed on the Special Educational Needs offer in the school and listened to the SENDco describe how the most complex needs children are supported.

Children from Year 2 to 6 attended a pupil voice session looking at the History offer. Children enjoyed sharing their history books with Governors and were able to confidently articulate their learning over time. Next time Governors look forward to hearing about our newly developed Religious Education offer.

Safeguarding, Health and Safety Committee Update

The Health and Safety Governors carried out their half termly meeting on the 3rd October. They spent time looking at the safeguarding curriculum offer and ensured the Government guidelines around Relationships and Sex Education were now in place. Governors carried out a random ‘spot check’ of staff to ensure that the staff were confident in policy and procedure around the many aspects of safeguarding within a school.

TikTok

Ofcom recently reported that British children spend 127 minutes a day on TikTok each day. With this in mind, please be aware of the TikTok Parental Control settings. These settings can restrict who can contact and comment on your child’s posts and profile. It also features a Digital Wellbeing feature to restrict inappropriate content (such as viral trends that may negatively impact your child) and help children manage how long they spend on the app.
