Feeling very lucking to be part of such an amazing school which is placing importance on such important life values.
Thank you very much for today. I feel the passion and enthusiasm of all teachers and Ms Pugh- it is having a great positive impact on my son’s (and all the children). Thank you.
Fantastic presentation: good to meet all the teachers.
Thank you for the meeting, very informative.
Very informative! Y6 parents need to be made aware that the period in the 6 weeks hols before secondary, kids need to keep practicing as they will be tested for sets almost immediately on starting.
Very informative, and comforting from the previous year. Going forward it would be great if we could prepare for sets/secondary school in year 5.
