Dear Parents and Carers,

This week, our children have had fantastic opportunities to enrich their learning through exciting trips that enhance and bring the curriculum to life. It’s always wonderful to see them engaged, curious, and making meaningful connections beyond the classroom.

As we finish for half-term today, we want to remind you that school reopens on Monday,24th February.

A few important reminders for next half term:
✅ School Uniform – Please ensure children return in full school uniform after half-term. Uniform is an important part of our school identity, and we appreciate your support in maintaining high standards.
✅ Parental Consent Forms – 👉 Please complete the updated consent form by Monday 24th February, at the latest. Until we have received this information, we will not be sharing photographs or videos of children on our Facebook page.

✅Absence reporting-Please make sure that you inform the school of the reason for your child’s absence as soon as possible, ideally by 8:30am on each day of absence either by calling the school on 01708 343616 and pressing option 1 or emailing  mail@mead.havering.sch.uk

Parents Courses available through the PINS Project

 Dear  Parents,

As part of the final stage of PINS (Promoting Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools) we will be working with experts to deliver parent carer workshops on the subjects that you told us matter most to you as parents.

There are six topics that we will cover across the following:

• 5 Parent Workshops with a specialist subject in the morning, followed by a parent lunch/chat, then a specialist subject in

the afternoon.

• 5 Parent Webinars with the same subjects covered in evening webinar sessions.

• Emotion Coaching two-part webinar.

In addition to this, Havering Schools will receive access to Creative Education which will give parent carers access to 70 CPD courses that can be accessed at any time.

Please access the information about all the available courses here: PINS Project Parents courses
