Parents Evening Booking System Our next parents evening is on Monday 27th and Wednesday 29th March and we have sent the invite by text with a link where you can book appointments to see your child/ren’s class teacher. You also have an option to meet with our Headteacher, SENCo and Learning Mentor. (These are not compulsory meetings, only book if you feel you need to see them). Do not worry, if you are not sure just pop in to the school office and we will show you how, or manually book your appointments for you. Do your children have issues at bedtime and/or problems with sleeping? Please see the advertisement on the back of this newsletter.
School Uniform Our school uniform supplier has increased the costs of the uniform from 1st March. As we have some uniform in stock we will not increase our prices until 31st May 2017. Please make sure all uniform, PE kit, coats etc. have your child’s name in to reduce the amount of losses. For parents payments on line go to www.schoolmoney.co.uk
