Dear Samakee Community,

Working Together: Upcoming Opportunities to Connect 

The coming weeks offer several important opportunities for us to work together in partnership for your child's education.

Parent Consultations - Book Your Appointment

Our Parent Consultations will take place in mid-October, just before the half-term break. These meetings are a valuable opportunity to:

We'll send booking details shortly. We strongly encourage all parents to attend - your partnership is essential to your child's success.

Behind the Scenes: Pupil Progress Meetings

Before we meet with you, we'll be holding our first round of Pupil Progress meetings next week. Phase leads and I will meet with every teacher to review each child's progress, discuss the recent GL Assessment results (Years 3-9), and plan targeted support where needed.

These systematic reviews ensure we understand every child and can respond quickly to concerns or opportunities.

Safety First: Fire Drill Next Week

Next week, we will conduct our first whole-school fire drill this term. This timed evacuation practice ensures everyone knows how to stay safe in an emergency. Your child may mention it when they get home!

Your Role

Your partnership is invaluable. Whether it's attending consultations, supporting learning at home, or simply staying connected with your child's teacher, you play a crucial role in your child's education. Thank you for your ongoing support.
