Parents Forum - The Same Night as Parents Evenings
Our parents forum is an opportunity for parents to call in and discuss anything which they would like to draw to our attention. No matter how small, if you have any concerns or suggestions for how we could improve our school, we would like to hear it. Mr. Thomas will be available in the school hall throughout our parents meetings to speak to parents.
Springboard Information
Springboard Family Learning are beginning a course focused on creating a photobook of images, journaling the development of our school. The pictures will not be shared online, but used to create a physical resource which we will share in our school foyer.
If you have not provided permission for your child's photograph to be taken and shared in any way, then we will ensure that they are not photographed as part of this project.
