‘Great to see structured sessions. My daughter was a bit upset when I left her classroom. Later open sessions would stop this happening.’ School response: The open sessions for Reception parents are held in the afternoons for this very reason; however for Year 1 to Year 6 parents we spread the open sessions out so over the year there is a mixture of mornings and afternoons and we cover different days in order to try and provide all parents with the chance to attend. |

I loved the story time (The Book with no Pictures) it was so nice to see the kids laughing and enjoying it so much! |

‘I think these mornings should be held before end of school as it is hard for me to get here when working. I always pick up and this would be so much better. Many thanks.’ School response: We hold several sessions over the year, some are morning sessions and others are afternoons sessions. We also ensure that we hold each session on a different day of the week. We do this is try and make sure that as many parents as possible have the opportunity to attend a session at some point over the year. Hope that helps you. |

First we were talking about writing a descriptive sentence – the children seemed to be enjoying using their imagination and were interested in thinking about what worlds they were going to visit and how they would feel – it’s a shame I had to leave before they wrote their sentences! I arrived back in time for maths the children all seemed to be enjoying it and understood the method. The class were beautifully behaved! Thank you.’ |
