Weekly Newsletter - Important Information
Friday 11th October 2024
Dear Parents and carers,
We hope that you have had a great week. This week I have been very impressed with Year 2 as they have been fantastic role models during their trip to the Fire Station. They were well mannered and very sensible during their visit, asking lots of questions to help them with their topic ‘The Great Fire of London’. It didn’t end there for year 2 as I was lucky enough to see Mastering Number in action, the children were using their stem sentences to explain their understanding and I was very impressed with their hard work! Well done Year 2.
Parents Evening
We are really looking forward to you joining us for Year 1- 5 parents evening next Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th October. Your children’s books will be available for you to look through while you wait for your appointment. Please remember that appointments are only 10 minutes each so if there is something that you wish to discuss that may need more time, please arrange to meet the teacher at a different time after school so that you have enough time to discuss this in more detail.
Harvest Festival
Thank you to those who have kindly donated to our Harvest appeal. We are starting to build up lots of donations. You are still able to donate throughout the next two weeks of the half term as we will be delivering the donations just before the end of half term.

Raising Concerns
Our priority is to ensure that any concerns are properly addressed for every individual pupil and family. If concerns are raised by groups or via anonymous complaints this can present us with extreme challenges and difficulties in resolving them successfully. As a school we believe wholeheartedly in working in partnership with our community and that addressing concerns openly and transparently allows us to arrive at far better outcomes and improved solutions and support for our individual pupils.
We have a clear process set out in our complaints procedure about how to share any concerns you may have with the school. The first step is an informal stage and we would encourage you to schedule a meeting with your child's teacher in the first instance. This will provide an opportunity for you to share your concerns and for the teacher to give you feedback or share further context. If you would like to speak to the teacher with another member of staff present, the Year Group Leaders are available to support. If the issue persists, please make an appointment to speak to the Year Group Leader, Assistant Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher or Headteacher.
