Welcome to our October online newsletter
The Parent Council hope that you and your children have settled into the new routines. The rules are changing every day, but stay safe and healthly.
Return to School - What you said!
We received 56 responses - thanks for your help!
The results show:
the majority of you were not anxious about the return to school in August
the majority of you felt you had the information you needed
the majority of the school had made the right type and enough changes
half of parents did not feel their child was anxious about the return to school in August
although, the majority of you felt your child/ren were anxious about the changes the school made
BUT 84 % said their child/ren were happy or very happy to be back at school
The main issues were
communication
use of outdoor learning
lunch breaks
and issues about the new arrangements for collection of children
A brief survey (roughly 15 minutes to complete) asking about:
what nurseries/schools did well
areas where communication could improve
the issues that you would like more information on
what additional supports you require to help on a range of issues
Sweets for sale
We made £50 from the sweets we sold before the September weekend.
