Meetings next week.

A reminder that next Monday, straight after school, there is a meeting in the Main Hall only for Y5 parents whose children are considering sitting the 11+ test in September. We will not be discussing Secondary applications at this meeting. We will hold another meeting in September to inform parents of that process.

Also next week we have our Parent Forum in the Hall on Wednesday at 5pm.
We will be explaining a little about our new International Primary Curriculum that we will launch fully in September, there will also be a chance for parents to look at the units of work that their children will be studying.
As with all Parent Forums there will also be a chance for parents to ask any questions and raise issues around school policy and practice. Although please remember that any specific issues around individual staff, parents or pupils should be addressed with Mrs Green or myself in confidence.

Finally next week we have the PTA Bhangra Night at 6pm on Friday, get your tickets now! £2 for Adults, £1 for children.

Hope to see you there!
