Big Parenting Questions
Navigating the leap from childhood to adolescence
Big Parenting Questions is a brand-new event for mums, dads and carers, designed to offer hope and help through this time of change in our children’s lives.
You will explore principles that will equip you to come alongside your child as they try and establish their identity, assert their independence and find their place in the world.
You’ll come away with …
A framework to help you answer tricky questions
A better understanding of what’s going on with their bodies – and in their brains
Practical ways to stay connected with your child whilst letting them go
Strategies to keep your child safe, both in the real world and online
Ways to help your child establish their identity and develop independence
Increased confidence in how you, and your child, can thrive during this crucial stage in their development

Attendance at Central
ClassDojos
At Central Primary School, we take attendance and punctuality very seriously. We aim to have an attendance figure in excess of 96% .
This week, we would like to celebrate Chestnut class who achieved 100% attendance. They are the first class in KS2 to achieve this and will be receiving a prize for their excellent commitment to their learning.
The next challenge for KS2 is for every class to get 100% in one week. If KS2 manage it, every class will receive a special prize.
Thank you for your continued support in raising our attendance figures.

In addition, at the end of the half term, we hold a ClassDojo raffle, where the children can win some exciting prizes!
1st place - Chestnut - 365
2nd place - Ash - 277
3rd place - Sunflower - 270
Donations
Dear families,
We would be very grateful if you had any boys or girls underwear and socks that you are able to donate to school. All ages/sizes welcome and to be handed into the main office.
A gentle reminder that if your child does come home with spare items from school that they are washed and returned promptly.
