Dear Parents and Friends,
The start of this week brought the first Parents ’ Evenings of the school year, with the remainder to follow over the coming weeks. I do hope that you find them to be useful. Please remember that if an issue crops up at any other time of year, you are more than welcome to request a meeting with your child’s teacher if you wish. If, for some reason, you were or are unable to attend the meetings, please contact your child ’s teacher directly to rearrange.
The work at Mtarfa moves on very quickly. I have spent a large portion of today on site to monitor progress and check that everything is going as it should. It really was a hive of fluorescent jackets and hard hats, and work has progressed enough for me to be confident that we will be providing the opportunity for current parents to have a sneak preview campus in the second week of January, date to be confirmed. This will be ahead of those parents who have registered their child for entry from September, who will have the opportunity to see it a week or two later. Please keep an eye on the weekly mailing for further details as arrangements come together.
Have a lovely weekend,
Louise Salmond Smith Founding Head
