Spring Term 2014 Parents' Consultations

The arrangements for this term’s Parents’ consultations are as follows.  We have organised two dates for you to meet with your child’s class teacher:

Friday 14th February 2014 

Please note that on this day there will be no lessons in school.  The day has been devoted to holding meetings with parents and carers.  This is an official school closure day.  Normally such days are used for staff training but this one will be used to consult with parents.

Class teachers will be available from 8.00am to 4.00pm in their classes to talk about children’s progress and ways forward.  Please speak to your child’s class teacher to book an appointment.  The school will be taking a break for lunch between 12.00 and 1.00pm, no appointments will be held at this time.

Monday 3rd March 2014

An additional time has been made available for you to meet if you are not able to attend on the previous date.  The teachers will be available in their classrooms between 3.30 and 5.00pm.

Additional dates for the Nursery, classes 2N and 4I

These classes will have additional booking days as follows:
Classes 4I and 2N – the morning of Thursday 13th February
Nursery classes – an additional date will be announced shortly to meet with the key workers


Parents and carers are recommended to meet with their children’s teachers on one of these dates.  It is the most important meeting of the year, the children’s progress to date will be shared and new objectives for the children will be passed on to you.  Your child’s education is a partnership between home and school.  Communication of information is very important to ensure we work together for your child’s success in school.  The most successful learners are those who are supported by their parents at home.

Other support being provided on the day:

We will be asking all parents to complete a short questionnaire before or after their appointments.

Maths Workshops will be provided in the Junior Hall during the morning of 14th February by our two Lead Maths Teachers, Mrs O’Driscoll and Miss Fan.  They will be demonstrating our Calculation Strategy and the ways we teach children about number operations.  Please see additional newsletter for details.

Mr Drew, Mrs Tomlinson and Ms Billen will also be available throughout the day in their offices.
