11. Concerns
If you have any worries or concerns, please come in and see me as soon as possible. The quicker I know about it, the sooner I can sort it out. If you are unable to come in, send a note or phone & speak to Mrs Houldsworth, Mrs Hilditch or Mrs King who will relay your message to me. Communication between home and school is very important to us.

12. Visits out of school One world festival Manchester museum Swimming
Tatton Park
Standon Bowers
I will try to organise a trip for each half term to give the children experiences to support their learning.
I may invite people into school instead to deliver workshops which will support the curriculum but avoid the cost of transport.

13. Helpers in class
I would welcome help making topic books, working with children, hearing readers or accompanying us on out of school visits. You may have a special skill you’d like to share with us like sewing, baking or building…
Please let me know if you could do this on a regular basis or occasionally.

14. Thank you for coming today.
I look forward to a fabulous year working hard!
