26th February 2014 Dear Parents A belated welcome back after the half-term break. I hope you had an enjoyable time with your children but I expect you’re also pleased that they’re now back at school and working hard! It was good to see so many of you at our mid-year parents’ meetings just before the break when we were able to discuss with you each child’s progress and next steps. If you were unable to attend, your child’s teacher will be pleased to arrange an appointment for you to meet with him/her on another occasion. We do feel it is important for us to work together in order to further your children’s education and help them to fulfil their potential. In order for us to improve as an academy we are currently undertaking our annual exercise of self-evaluation. To help us with this we would appreciate you completing the Parents’ Questionnaire which I am sending out tonight and returning it to your child’s class teacher. Your thoughts and views are highly valued. Finally, a plea to let us know of any changes to contact details. For safeguarding reasons it is very important that our data is kept up to date. Please will you also let the office know (478271) if someone different is collecting your child at the end of the day to avoid any awkwardness when the children are to be released to adults we might not know. A reminder that the school day ends at 3.05pm for Reception, Years 1 and 2 and 3.10pm for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Nursery finishes at 3.15pm. Thank you, as always, for your support and co-operation. Yours sincerely,
Mr N Hodgkins Headteacher
