Is there anything you think we could have done better?
Sometimes feels tired after being pushed academically – please speak to your child’s class teacher as we always want to work with you.
Parents’ evening better face to face – we will explore options for this. Possibly a hybrid system as some parents like it online.
Nothing really, just slightly more notice for events - please see monthly calendars and newsletters. Also, our website has the long-term calendar on.
Communication from teacher to parent – please remember we do have an open-door policy and teachers are more than happy to chat to you.
Bit more challenge – please speak to your child’s class teacher if you feel they are not being pushed enough. We always want to work with you.
Lots of things to remember – we are sorry!
Christmas play – all KS2 will be involved in the Leavers’ Production this year.
Text message for Handwriter of the Week – we like this and have already started implementing it.
Better breakdown in assessments – please remember the last Parents Evening – after the end of year reports have come out – parents can ask for more detail on this and get a more detailed breakdown. Please come and ask us.
Maths methods to be shown – these are on our website and explained at the Curriculum Meeting in September but we will share these in other ways too.
Slightly less homework in KS2 – we will look into reducing this for summer term.
