Thank you to all the families who attended our ‘Parental Engagement sessions’ this term and for your feedback. Many families wanted advance notice of the sessions we were holding so we are pleased to share our ‘Parental Engagement’ sessions for this half term, aimed at fostering a stronger partnership between home and school for the benefit of our children. 

The sessions will be interactive and informative, allowing for discussions and questions from parents. We understand that schedules can be busy, so we will also provide resources and materials for parents who are unable to attend in person on our website.

Tea/Coffee and refreshments will be provided.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich’s festive light trail, Sparkle in the Park, is back for a fifth year this Christmas. 

From 28 November to 1 December (4.30 to 9pm), Charlton Park, House and Gardens will be transformed into an enchanted winter wonderland, co-created with Royal Greenwich residents, for local people to enjoy. Visitors can explore the stunning light installations, the Christmas market, a fun fair and enjoy pop up performances from local schools and community choirs.  

Visitors won’t need a ticket or to pre-book to enter this year’s event. We will do our best to minimise any wait times, but please be prepared to queue for entry at busy times, particularly on Saturday evening.

Our Autism Central Hubs offer guidance to families, carers and personal assistants of autistic people. All of our sessions are run by Peer Educators. These are parents or carers of autistic people, who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. They offer group and one-to-one sessions to help you and other parents and carers find the information and services available in your area. Hubs may also run events such as workshops, drop-in sessions, coffee mornings or virtual meet-ups.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich in conjunction with partners, parents and young people has today launched a new five-year partnership strategy aimed at enhancing the lives of children and young people with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Our SEND and Inclusion Participation Strategy 2024-2029 has been co-produced with children and their families, and our partners in the local area. We have captured views through a range of consultation activities including facilitated workshops, online questionnaires and individual meetings. This has been brought together with our recent self-evaluation for our Local Area Inspection (May 2024).
