Newsletter for Parents Week Beginning 19th April 2021
Dear Parents,
We have had a very positive first week back in school and have been working your children quite hard! On the whole they have been cheerful and ready to learn and are pleased to be back with their friends and their teachers!
Thank you for continuing to follow our safety rules and for arriving with your children at the right times. We have had great attendance this week but please ensure you call school if your child is not well enough to come to school or if there is another reason why they cannot attend. Most importantly please let us know if your child, or someone in your household, has a positive covid test. We will be following up all unexplained absences.
Parents ‘Evenings’
You should by now have heard from your child’s class teacher about how you can book a phone call for ‘parents evening’. You will have a choice of a school time or an after school appointment. It is so important that you talk to your child’s class teacher next week so that you know how they have settled back into school and what you can do to ensure they keep up with their learning.
If you have any concerns following your discussion with your child’s class teacher please don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat.
Your Child’s Progress
We will be assessing the children’s progress over the next couple of weeks but there won’t be any National Tests this year. These assessments will be as informal as possible so your children don’t need to worry about them. We will let you know if we have concerns about your child’s progress.
Summer Term Dates
We are still unsure about what events will be allowed later this term but it unlikely that Year 5 and 6 residentials will take place. It would be good to think we can have some kind of Sports Days
and end of year events and we will do our best to make the best of it all! We will give you plenty of notice of any events which can take place.
There will be just one INSET day this term – 7th June which is the first day after half term.
Thanking you for all your support,
C M Hewitt
