Consultation meetings for parents

On Monday 17th October and Wednesday 19th October there is the opportunity for you to book an appointment with the class teacher to discuss how the children are settling into their new class and year group.  It is an opportunity for you to meet with the teacher and talk about any concerns or worries that you may have.  It is really important that you take this opportunity to book a meeting with the teacher and find out about the progress that your children are making in school.  We value the opportunity to talk and listen to you and to ensure that we are working together in joint partnership to ensure that all children reach their full potential.

If after discussing any issues with the teachers you still have concerns then Mrs Strachan and Mr Scriven will be available on both evenings and you can pop in to see us.

Who to talk to throughout the school year?

All worries and concerns should be shared with the class teacher in the first instance. 

Mr Scriven and Mrs Strachan are often on one of the school gates in the morning.  Please use the opportunity to let us know how your children are getting on and any concerns that you may have.
