Dear Parents/Carers
Your child’s School Report will be sent home with your child this Friday, 6th July We will then be holding an informal Parents' Open Evening next Monday 9th July 2018 between 3.30pm to 5.30pm.
Instead of the usual appointment slots, you can drop in at any time between the above times. Class teachers will be available in class rooms, should you wish to discuss your child’s report or any aspects of your child’s learning and you will also have the opportunity to look at your child’s work.
We hope this will be more convenient at this time of year and cut down on the waiting time to see teachers.
Thank you for your continued support.
