Y5/Y6 FRACTIONS AND PERCENTAGES WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS - is on Thursday 22nd March at 6.00pm until 6.45pm. CLASSROOM DOORS - Can we politely request that parents only have a quick word with teachers at the classroom door if it is an information point - e.g. your child not feeling well or a change in going home arrangements. Classteachers need to be able to greet their pupils as they arrive in the morning and then start lessons promptly. The very public classroom door is not the place to be discussing a child’s progress – we have parent interviews 3 times a year for this. If you have concerns about your child’s progress or behaviour please make an appointment to see the classteacher at a mutually convenient time. Thank you.
